Comments
When visitors post comments on the site, we collect the information displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string (which identifies the browser) to help detect spam.
An anonymised 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 your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you are a registered user and upload photos to this site, you should avoid uploading photos with an EXIF GPS location. Visitors to this site could download photos stored on this site and extract their location information.
Cookies
If you write a comment on our website, this may constitute consent to store your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that you do not have to re-enter all this data if you write another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set up 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 sign in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and display options. Login cookies expire after two days and display option cookies after one year. If you select ‘Stay signed in’ when signing in, your sign-in will be maintained for two weeks. When you sign out of your account, the sign-in cookies will be deleted.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only refers to the post ID of the item you have just edited. The cookie expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to this website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we store your data
If you write a comment, it will be saved indefinitely, including metadata. This is so we can automatically recognise and approve follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this 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 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.
