What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After comment approval, your profile picture will be visible publicly in the context of your comment.

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

Contact Forms
Information submitted through contact forms on our site may be used to respond to inquiries, provide services, and improve our offerings.

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last one year. If you have an account and log in, we will set temporary cookies to determine if your browser accepts cookies, which will be discarded when you close your browser.

Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a 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 indicating the post ID of the article will be saved, expiring after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor visited that website directly, which may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions.

Analytics
We may use third-party analytics tools to understand and optimise our website’s performance.

Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your personal information with third parties, except where required by law or as necessary to provide services (e.g., spam detection services like Google reCAPTCHA).

How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for follow-up moderation. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information anytime, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, such as Google reCAPTCHA.
