What Personal Data We Collect and Why

We collect certain information to improve your experience and keep our site secure. Here’s what we collect and why:

1. Comments
   • When you leave a comment, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, your IP address, and browser details to help prevent spam.
   • If you use a Gravatar, an anonymized version of your email address (called a hash) may be sent to Gravatar to check if you have an account. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
2. Media
   • If you upload images, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.
3. Contact Forms
   • If you use a contact form, we collect the information you provide to respond to your inquiry.
4. Cookies
   • If you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These cookies last for one year and make it easier for you to comment again without re-entering your details.
   • If you log in, we use cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will stay active for two weeks.
   • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.
5. Embedded Content
   • Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, etc.) from other websites. This content behaves as if you visited the other website, which may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with the content.
