What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When you leave a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the form, your IP address, and browser user agent to help with spam detection.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized hash of your email may be sent to their service. View their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public.

Media Uploads

If you upload images to our site, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may download and extract this data.

Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • If you leave a comment, your name, email, and website may be saved in cookies for convenience. These last one year.

  • A temporary cookie may be set when you visit the login page to check browser compatibility.

  • Upon login, cookies save your credentials and display settings. Login cookies last two days; screen preference cookies last one year.

  • Selecting “Remember Me” extends login to two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

  • Editing or publishing content adds a cookie that stores the post ID. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). These behave just like visiting those websites directly.
Such sites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data.
