Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you enter in the comment form. We also gather your IP address and browser user agent to assist with spam detection.

Additionally, we may use an anonymised version of your email (a hash) to check whether you use the Gravatar service. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may appear publicly next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors could potentially download and extract location details from uploaded images.

Cookies

To enhance your experience, our website uses cookies in several ways:

  • If you comment on a post, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year and make it easier to comment again later.

  • Visiting the login page creates a temporary cookie to test browser compatibility. It does not store personal data and disappears when you close your browser.

  • When you log in, we use cookies to remember your login and display settings. Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”). Display settings cookies last for one year.

  • If you log out, login cookies are removed.

  • Editing or publishing a post sets a cookie containing the article’s post ID. This cookie expires after one day and does not store personal data.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Some articles may include embedded content such as videos or images from other sites. This content behaves as if you visited the source website directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interactions, especially if you’re logged in to their site.

Sharing Your Data

If you request a password reset, we include your IP address in the reset email.

Data Retention

We retain your comments and their metadata indefinitely. This helps us recognise and approve future comments automatically.

For registered users, we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You may view, edit, or delete your data at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Data Rights

You have the right to request a copy of any personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to delete your data, except where we are required to retain it for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Goes

We may process visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.
