Comments When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media If you upload images to our website, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted online.
Cookies If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if the visitor has visited those websites directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, including tracking interactions if you have an account and are logged in on those websites.
Who We Share Your Data With If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
