Data Collection

When you visit our website and leave comments, we collect certain information such as your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you have an account with them. If your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment. If you upload images to our website, please be aware that they should not contain embedded location data.

Cookies

We use cookies to provide you with a more personalized experience on our website. If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for future use. These cookies last for one year. When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded Content

Articles on our website may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, and articles. This embedded content behaves as if you have visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators also have access to this information.

Rights Over Your Data
