Comments​

Recommended text: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser User-Agent string to help detect and prevent spam comments.​

An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using that service. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly displayed alongside your comment.​

Media​

Recommended text: If you upload images to this website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded geolocation information (EXIF GPS data). Visitors to this website will be able to download and extract location information from the images on this site.​

Cookies​

Recommended text: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website address in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details each time you leave a comment. These cookies will remain on your device for one year.​

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.​

When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies will remain valid for two days, while screen display preference cookies will remain valid for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login status will be retained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the cookies used for login will be removed.​

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and only records the ID of the article you just edited. This cookie will expire after one day.​

Embedded Content from Other Websites​

Recommended text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you were visiting those other websites directly.​

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account on those websites and are logged in.​

Who We Share Your Information With​

How Long We Retain Your Information​

For registered users of this website, we also retain the personal information provided by the user in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except that usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.​

What Rights You Have Over Your Information​

Recommended text: 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, which includes any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase all personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.​
