What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string, created from your email address (a hash), may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media
If you upload images to our website, please ensure they do not contain any embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from any images on the website.

Contact Forms
If you use our contact forms, we collect your name, email address, and any additional details you provide to respond to your inquiries. This information is used solely for communication purposes.

Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are used for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set several cookies to store your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, and articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.

Analytics
We use analytics tools to track user interaction with our site and improve your experience. This data helps us understand how our website is being used and where we can enhance the user experience.

Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your personal data with third parties unless required for services (e.g., web hosting, analytics). Any third-party service providers we use adhere to strict privacy standards and only access data necessary for the services they provide.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information provided 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 view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Contact Information
For more information about how your data is handled or to make any requests related to your personal information, please contact us at [your email address] or [your contact number].
