Privacy Policy

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how it is used, and your rights regarding your personal information when using our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors to the site may download and extract this location information from uploaded images.

Cookies

Comments: If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you don’t have to re-enter these details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
Login: When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
After login: We set cookies to store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while display preference cookies last for one year. If you choose “Stay logged in,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out deletes these cookies.
Editing or publishing: When you edit or publish an article, a cookie containing only the post ID is saved. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as though you have visited those sites directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged in to those websites.

Sharing your data

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

How long we keep your data

Comments: Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in moderation.
Registered users: We store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except your username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators also have access to this information.

Your rights regarding your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request:

A copy of the personal data we hold about you (including any data you have provided to us).
The erasure of your personal data.

This does not include information we are legally required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to comply with changes in law, technology, or our practices. The latest version will always be published on our website.
