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 aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images available on the site.
Cookies
- If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser.
- Upon logging in, several cookies are set to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, screen options cookies last a year, and selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves as though you have visited the originating website and may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions, especially if you have an account and are logged in on that website.

How Long We Retain Your Data
