Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to enhance your browsing experience. We use cookies as follows:

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website URL in cookies. This eliminates the need to re-enter this information for future comments. These cookies persist for 1 year.

Embedded Content from Third-Party Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles) from external websites. Embedded content behaves identically to visiting the third-party site directly:

Third-party sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content.

If you are logged into an account on the third-party site, your interactions with the embedded content may be linked to your account on that site.

Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. The only exception is:

  • If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email to verify the request’s legitimacy.

Retention of Your Information

  • Comments: Comments and their associated metadata (e.g., timestamp, IP address) are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve your future comments without reprocessing them through our moderation queue.
  • Registered User Data: For registered users, we retain the personal information you provide in your profile (e.g., name, email address). You may view, edit, or delete this information at any time (except your username, which cannot be changed). Site administrators may also access and edit this data for administrative purposes.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have previously left comments, you have the following rights:

  • Data Export: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (including all information you provided to us).
  • Data Erasure: Request the deletion of all personal data we hold about you. This does not apply to data we are legally required to retain for administrative, regulatory, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments are automatically scanned by a third-party spam detection service to prevent malicious or irrelevant content. This service may process comment data (including your IP address and comment text) to identify spam.
