Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. This is to make things easier for you, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when posting another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser allows cookies. This cookie doesn’t store any personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we’ll also create several cookies to save your login info and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep your login active for two weeks. Logging out will remove these login cookies. If you publish or edit an article, an extra cookie will be stored in your browser.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Directly Provided Data: Such as comments, registration information, and uploaded media.
  • Automatically Collected Data: Including IP addresses, browser types, and usage data for analytics and spam detection.
  • Third-Party Data: From services like Gravatar, as part of comment moderation.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external website, which may:

  • Collect your data.
  • Use cookies.
  • Embed third-party tracking.
  • Monitor your interaction, especially if logged into that external website.

We encourage reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party websites.

Who we share your data with

Third-Party Services: Data may be shared with trusted third-party providers to improve functionality, such as spam detection and analytics services.

How long we retain your data

Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal details provided in their profiles. Users can access, modify, or delete their personal information anytime (except for changing their username). Administrators can also view and edit this data.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data that we have on record, including any information you’ve provided us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This doesn’t include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You have the right to:

  • Request an exported file of your personal data.
  • Request deletion of your personal data, except for records kept for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
