Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
This site uses a plugin called WPStatistics. This plugin helps us, the developers, track page views and visitor activity. For the visitor’s part, they track site activity (as in, how long you stay on a page, you first action there, and the most recent action taken). This plugin also tracks which browser, which OS (operating system), and which device is being used to access this site (smartphone, tablet, etc). The last thing these cookies access is visitor location data, which is tracked to the nearest city. These cookies will last for six months, before being automatically purged.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If 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, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Cookies Continued: How we protect you, and how you can protect yourself
To better protect your privacy, we’ve used WPStatistics to do a couple key things. We anonymize visitor’s IP addresses, which masks the last segment of a user’s IP address for privacy, complying with GDPR and preventing the full IP from being stored. We also hash IP addresses, which transforms IP addresses into a unique, non-reversible string using a secure algorithm, enhancing privacy protection and complying with data privacy regulations. As a final protective measure, we have Do Not Track (DNT) set to protect all users that have that setting checked. DNT respects the visitor’s browser setting to not track their web activity, so if you aren’t comfortable with sharing your information, we recommend that you enable DNT in your browser’s settings. Privacy laws like GDPR do not mandate this feature, but activating it demonstrates our commitment to privacy.
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 the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that 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 we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
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. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
