Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with 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 provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can find the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again the next time you comment. These cookies last for one year.

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

Upon logging in, we set up cookies to save your login info and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited the external site directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content—especially if you are logged in to those websites.
