Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data from the comment form along with the IP address and browser user agent to assist with spam detection. Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address (known as a hash) might be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can review the Gravatar service’s Privacy Policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside the comment.
Media
When uploading images to the website, ensure that the files do not contain embedded location data (e.g., EXIF GPS). Visitors can potentially download and extract such location data from images posted on the website.
Cookies
When leaving a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. This saves you from re-entering your details on future comments and lasts for one year. Upon visiting our login page, a temporary cookie will verify if your browser accepts cookies; it does not store personal data and is discarded after you close your browser.
Upon login, cookies are set up to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies expire in two days unless you select “Remember Me,” which extends the login period to two weeks. After logging out, these cookies are removed. Additionally, if you edit or publish an article, another cookie is saved in your browser, recording the article’s ID and expiring in one day.

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos or images. Such embedded content behaves the same as visiting the original website. These external sites might collect data, use cookies, embed tracking tools, or monitor your interaction, especially if you are logged in to their platform.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to automatically approve follow-up comments without moderation. For registered users, personal information provided in their profiles is also stored indefinitely. Users can edit or delete their personal data anytime, except for usernames, while administrators have access to edit this information as well.
Your Rights
If you have an account or left comments, you can request a file containing your personal data or ask for its deletion. However, we retain data necessary for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
