What Personal Data We Collect and Why:
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
Additionally, we may generate an anonymized string from your email address (known as a hash) to check if you’re using the Gravatar service. You can find the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be displayed publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please refrain from including any embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract this location information from the images.

Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This makes it easier for you to fill in your information the next time you comment. These cookies will remain active for one year.
When you access our login page, we will create a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal information and is removed once you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we will establish several cookies to remember your login information and your display preferences. The cookies used for login will remain active for two days, while those related to your display options will last for one year. If you opt for the “Remember Me” feature, your login session will be extended to two weeks. However, if you choose to log out, the login cookies will be deleted.
Additionally, when you edit or publish a post, a separate cookie will be created in your browser. This cookie does not hold any personal information; it simply records the post ID of the article you’ve just worked on and will expire after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may feature embedded content such as videos, images, and articles. This embedded content functions just like it would if you were visiting the original website directly.
These external sites may gather data about you, utilize cookies, and include additional third-party tracking. They may also monitor your interactions with the embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged into that site.d

How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, both the comment and its associated metadata are kept indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments, bypassing the moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their profiles. All users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, although they cannot change their username. Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we have about you, including any information you’ve provided. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we hold. However, this does not include information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
