Comments
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 to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify that you are using it. Gravatar's privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to have your name, email address and website stored in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don't have to re-enter this information the next time you comment. These cookies are stored for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted as soon as you close your browser.
When you log in, multiple cookies are also set to store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies are kept for two days, and cookies for display preferences are kept for one year. If you select "Remember Me," your login remains active for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are deleted.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly the same as when the visitor visits that other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and track your interaction with that embedded content, including interaction if you have an account and are logged into that website.
Who we share your information with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we keep your data
When you leave a comment, that comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This way, we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators may 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 may request an export file of the personal information we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where your data will be sent
Comments from visitors can be monitored through an automated spam detection service.
