We are committed to protecting your privacy while using our platform. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you visit and interact with our website.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string, to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.
We recommend removing EXIF data before uploading any media files to ensure your privacy is maintained.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. Here’s how we use cookies:
- Commenting Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This includes tracking if you have an account and are logged into that website.
We advise reviewing the privacy policies of any external websites to understand their practices and terms regarding data collection.
Who We Share Your Data With?
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
Your data may be processed by third-party service providers who help us manage our site and services, but these providers will only access your data as necessary for their functions.
How Long We Retain Your Data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can 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 can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
If you have concerns about your data privacy or need help with your personal information, please contact us directly.
Where Your Data is Sent?
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This helps prevent spam and ensures the quality of the discussions on our platform.
Additionally, some data may be transferred and stored outside of the European Union (EU) or your jurisdiction. If you’re located outside of the EU, you acknowledge and consent to the processing and transfer of your data in accordance with this policy.
