Who We Are

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from an email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if it is in use. Refer to the Gravatar/Automattic privacy policy for details.
After approval of a comment, the associated profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of that comment.

If images are uploaded to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the website.

If a comment is left on the site, there is an option to save the name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
When visiting the login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if the browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser is closed.
Upon logging in, several cookies are set to save login information and display preferences:
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Screen options cookies last for one year.
- Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks.
- Logging out removes login cookies.
If an article is edited or published, an additional cookie is stored containing the post ID of the article just edited. It expires after one day and contains no personal data.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles).
Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third‑party tracking, and monitor interaction with embedded content, including tracking interaction if there is an account and an active login on that website.

If a password reset is requested, the IP address may be included in the reset email.

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and auto‑approve follow‑up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if any), the personal information provided in user profiles is stored. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (username changes are not permitted). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If an account exists on this site or comments have been left, it is possible to request an exported file of the personal data held, including any data provided.
It is also possible to request the erasure of any personal data held. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Third‑party services: This site may use hosting, CDN, analytics, anti‑spam, security, or backup services that process personal data under their own policies.
International transfers: Data may be processed outside the country of residence, subject to appropriate safeguards.
Data security: Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal information; however, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Children’s privacy: This site is not intended for children under the age applicable in the user’s jurisdiction, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
