Comments
When guests post comments on the website, we gather the information provided in the comment submission form along with the commenter's IP address and the browser user agent information to aid in identifying and preventing spam.
A scrambled sequence of characters derived from your email (referred to as a hash) could be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have an account with them. You can access the privacy policy of the Gravatar service at this link: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment has been approved, your profile image will be on display to everyone in relation to your comment.
Media
When you are posting pictures on the website, it is advisable not to post pictures that contain location information (EXIF GPS) within them. People who visit the website have the capability to retrieve and use any of the location information that may be present in the images available on the site.
Cookies
When you post a comment on our website, you have the option to enable cookies that store your personal information, such as your name, email, and website. This feature is designed to make things easier for you by preventing the need to re-enter your details each time you want to post another comment. These cookies are set to remain on your device for a period of one year.
When you go to our sign-in page, we'll place a short-term cookie to check whether your browser is set up to accept cookies. This cookie doesn't store any personal information and will be removed once you shut down your browser.
Upon signing in, we'll establish multiple cookies to preserve your access details and preferences for how your screen appears. Cookies for login purposes remain for 48 hours, whereas those for display settings are retained for 365 days. Choosing "Remember Me" will keep you signed in for a fortnight. However, the cookies associated with your login will be deleted once you sign out of your account.
When you make changes to or make public a piece of writing, your web browser will store an extra cookie. This cookie doesn't contain any of your private information; it only records the unique identifier of the piece you've just modified. The cookie will be automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Embedded content from other websites
Content on this website might feature integrated materials such as videos, pictures, and texts. Integrated materials sourced from external websites operate identically to how they would if one were to directly visit those external sites.
These sites might gather your personal information, employ cookie technology, incorporate tracking mechanisms from external providers, and observe how you engage with the integrated material. If you possess an account and are signed into that site, they may also track your interactions with the embedded elements.
Entities with whom your information is shared Should you initiate a request to reset your password, the email containing the reset instructions will also contain your IP address.
How long we retain your data
When you post a comment, both the comment and its associated data will be stored for an unlimited time. This enables us to identify and automatically approve subsequent comments, thereby eliminating the need to manually moderate them.
For individuals who sign up on our site (should there be any), we retain the personal data they submit within their profile. Every user has the authority to view, modify, or erase their personal data whenever they wish (although their username is not alterable). The personal information can also be accessed and modified by the website's administrators.
What rights you have over your data
Should you possess an account on our website, or if you've previously posted comments, you are entitled to ask for a downloadable copy of the personal information we possess that pertains to you, which encompasses all information you've submitted to us. Additionally, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in our records. However, this exemption does not apply to any data that we must retain due to administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Comments left by visitors could be processed by an automated system that detects spam.
