Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string generated from your email address (referred to as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available at Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public within the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This eliminates the need to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies remain valid for one year.

Upon visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies persist for two days, while screen options cookies remain valid for a year.

You can also request the erasure of any personal data we hold about you. This does not apply to data we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent
