An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar Service’s privacy policies can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After validating your comment, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, we advise you to avoid uploading images containing EXIF data containing GPS coordinates. Visitors to this website can download and extract location data from these images.

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be offered to store your name, email address and website in cookies. This is only to make your life easier so that you don’t have to enter this information if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you visit the login page, a session cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be deleted automatically when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set a number of cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. The lifespan of a connection indicator is two days, that of a screen option indicator is one year. If you check “Remember me”, your cookie will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the cookie will be deleted.

By editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data. It simply shows the ID of the item you just edited. It expires after a day.

Nested content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Content embedded from other sites behaves in the same way as if the visitor were going to that other site.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, install third-party tracking tools, or track your interactions with this embedded content if you have an account and are logged into their website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long is your data kept?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows subsequent comments to be automatically recognized and approved instead of leaving them in the moderation queue.

For users who register on our site (where possible), we also store the personal data indicated in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site managers can also view and edit this information.

What are your rights over your data?

If you have an account or have left comments on this site, you may request to receive a file containing all the personal data we have about you, including the personal data you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of personal data about you. This does not take into account data stored for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments can be checked using an automated spam detection service.
