Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. 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-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. 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. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
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.
What data we collect
We may collect non-identifiable usage data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site through tools like Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit). This helps us understand how visitors use our website and improve user experience.
Analytics and third-party services
We use Google Site Kit to integrate services such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Google may collect and process data according to their Privacy Policy.
We may also use caching plugins (such as LiteSpeed Cache) to improve site speed and performance; these services may temporarily store non-personal data to optimize load times.
Affiliate links and sponsored content
Some articles may contain affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you purchase through those links, at no extra cost to you. Sponsored content will always be clearly disclosed.
Email subscription and contact forms
If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter or contact us through a form, we may collect your name, email address, and message. This information is used only for communication purposes and will not be shared or sold.
Who we share your data with
We may share limited information with third-party service providers that help us operate our website, such as hosting providers, analytics tools, and spam detection services. These partners may process non-identifiable or aggregated data according to their own privacy policies.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your consent
By using our website, you consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
Updates
We may update this policy from time to time; the latest version will always be posted on this page.
