Cookies

You can choose whether or not to have your name, email address, and website saved in cookies if you leave a comment on our website.

These are provided for your convenience so that you won’t have to re-enter your information each time you leave a comment. The shelf life of these cookies is one year.

If you go to our login page, we’ll temporarily store a cookie to see if your browser permits them.
This cookie is deleted when your browser is closed and does not contain any personal information.

We will also create a number of cookies when you log in to save your login details and screen display preferences. Screen option cookies last a year, while login cookies are only valid for two days. For two weeks, your login will be persistent if you choose “Remember Me.” The cookies for your login will be deleted once you log out of your account.

In your browser, a new cookie will be saved if you edit or publish an article. This cookie simply contains the post ID of the article you just edited and contains no personal information. It runs out after a day.

Embedded Content

This website’s articles might have embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). The behavior of embedded content from other websites is the same as that of a visitor who has actually visited the other website.

These websites may track your interaction with the embedded content, gather information about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your activity. This includes tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged in to the website.

How do we share your data?

Your IP address will be included in the password reset email if you request one.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, both the comment and any associated metadata are kept forever.
This allows us to recognize and approve any subsequent comments without having to manually moderate them.

In the event that any users register on our website, we also store the personal data they supply in their user profile. Anytime, any user may access, edit, or delete their personal information (except they cannot change their username). Administrators of the website can also access and modify that data.

Rights

You have the option to request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, along with any data you have given us, if you have an account on this website or have left comments. You can also ask us to delete any personal information we may have about you. This does not apply to any information that we must maintain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data is sent
