Comments

When visitors engage with my website by leaving comments, I employ various data points to enhance your experience and maintain security. These include information in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and their browser user agent string, which collectively aid my spam detection efforts. Additionally, to identify users, an anonymized string generated from your email address (commonly referred to as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service, should you be using it. You can review the Gravatar Privacy Policy. It’s important to note that once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

When uploading images to the website, it’s advisable to avoid including images containing embedded location data, often referred to as EXIF GPS information. This is because visitors to the website can download and extract location data from such images.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on this site, you can save your name, email address, and website information in cookies. These cookies are designed to enhance your experience by saving your details, sparing you from the need to re-enter them when you leave future comments. These convenience cookies have a lifespan of one year.

If you visit my login page, a temporary cookie will be set to verify your browser’s cookie acceptance. Rest assured, this cookie contains no personal data and is automatically discarded when you close your browser.

I utilize several cookies for my registered users to preserve your login credentials and screen display preferences upon logging in. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen options cookies are retained for a year. If you opt for ‘Remember Me’ during login, your session will persist for two weeks, enhancing your convenience. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

Lastly, an additional cookie is stored in your browser when you edit or publish an article. This cookie, which contains no personal data, indicates the post ID of the article you’ve recently edited and expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles may feature embedded content such as videos, images, and articles from external sources. It’s important to note that embedded content from other websites functions as if you had visited those external websites directly.

These external websites may gather your data, employ cookies, integrate additional third-party tracking mechanisms, and monitor your engagement with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interactions even further if you have an account and are logged in to their websites.

Sharing data

If you initiate a password reset, please be aware that your IP address will be included in the password reset email for verification purposes.

Retaining data

When you leave a comment, the comment itself and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This retention serves the purpose of seamless comment management, enabling me to automatically recognize and expedite the approval of any subsequent comments rather than subjecting them to a moderation queue.

Data rights

If you possess an account on this site or have engaged in commenting, you can request the receipt of an exported file containing your data, including any information you have willingly provided. Furthermore, you are welcome to request the deletion of any of your data I may possess. It’s important to note that this provision does not extend to data I am obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
