Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. We may also provide an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. For more information, please review the Gravatar privacy policy here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Cookies
Cookies are used to store your name, email, and website if you leave a comment on our site. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter your details each time you comment. Cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. No personal data is stored in this cookie, and it expires when you close your browser. When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and display preferences. These cookies last for two days. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, login cookies are removed.
Embedded content from other websites
Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Retention and Your Rights
Data Retention:
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. Registered users’ information is stored in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username).
Your Data Rights:
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, though we may retain certain information for legal or security purposes.
Data Sharing and Third-Party Services
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). These third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
