When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies and when you close your browser, it discards this cookie, which contains no personal data.
If you log in, we also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, the system keeps your login active for two weeks, and when you log out of your account, it removes the login cookies.
When you edit or publish an article your browser saves an additional cookies. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites have the capability to collect data about you, utilize cookies, embed additional thirdparty tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
The system retains the comment and meta data indefinitely if you leave a comment. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
