Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
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 at 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, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. 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, several cookies will be set up to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved that includes no personal data—only the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
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 as if the visitor has visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
