Who we are

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you have a profile. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS).

Visitors are not permitted to download, reuse, or extract any images or media content from this website without explicit written permission. All uploaded or displayed media remains the property of the website, unless otherwise stated.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again. These cookies last for one year.

We may also use temporary cookies to analyze browsing preferences and enhance user experience. Login cookies (if applicable) last for two days, and screen option cookies for one year.

If you edit or publish an article (as a contributor), a cookie will be stored in your browser containing no personal data and expiring after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, articles, images, links, etc.). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the source website directly.

These external sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction, especially if you are logged in to their service.

Analytics & Tracking Tools

We may use third-party services like Google Analytics and Site Kit by Google to monitor traffic and improve site performance. These services may collect anonymized data such as IP address, device information, and browsing behavior.

We do not sell this data or use it for invasive advertising purposes.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Data may be shared only as required by law or for spam and abuse prevention (e.g., Akismet, WPForms).

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to help us recognize and approve future comments automatically.

If user registration is ever enabled, users will be able to view, edit, or delete their personal information (except usernames). Website administrators may also view or edit such information.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be scanned through automated spam detection services like Akismet. Data from forms, analytics, and similar tools may also be processed by third-party services with their own privacy policies (e.g., Google, Cozmoslabs, WPForms).
