2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

4. Cookies
- Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login Cookies: When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, several cookies will be set to save your login information and screen display choices:
- Login cookies last for two days.

5. 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 in the exact same way as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- User Profiles: For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
8. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. Please note that this does not include any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
