Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be offered the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is only for your convenience so that you do not have to enter this information again when you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and will be automatically deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up a number of cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. The lifespan of a login cookie is two days, and that of a screen options cookie is one year. If you check “Remember Me,” your login cookie will be retained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be erased.

By editing or publishing a post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the post you just modified. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include integrated content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Content embedded from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor were visiting that other website.

These websites could collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with this embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to their website.

Use and Transmission of Your Personal Data

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked using an automated spam detection service.

Data Retention Periods

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows for the automatic recognition and approval of subsequent comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For accounts that register on our site (if applicable), we also store the personal data indicated in their profile. All accounts can view, modify, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of their username). Site managers can also view and modify this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you can request to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

You can also request the deletion of any personal data concerning you. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
