What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After comment approval, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors can extract this data from images on the site.

Contact forms

We collect data entered in contact forms for customer service purposes.

Cookies

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, lasting one year.
  • For logged-in users, temporary cookies determine if your browser accepts cookies. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends the login for two weeks.
  • Editing or publishing an article sets an additional cookie, which expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the other website, which may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services to analyze site usage.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold, or request its erasure. This excludes data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
