Comments

Suggested text: When visitors submit comments on our site, we gather the data displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection purposes.

An anonymised string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you’re using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Following approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Suggested text: If you upload images to the website, you should refrain from uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) attached. Visitors to the website have the ability to download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

Suggested text: If you submit a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These exist for your convenience to prevent you from having to enter your details again when you submit another comment. These cookies will remain active for one year.

If you access our login page, we will establish a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie holds no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also establish several cookies to store your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen options cookies remain active for a year. If you choose “Remember Me”, your login will remain active for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites functions in the exact same manner as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may gather data about you, utilize cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you possess an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

Suggested text: If you submit a comment, the comment and its metadata are preserved indefinitely. This enables us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also retain the personal information they supply in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or remove their personal information at any time (except they cannot modify their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

Suggested text: If you have an account on this site, or have submitted comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we maintain about you, including any data you have supplied to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we maintain about you. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent
