Cookies
If you leave a comment on the site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you will not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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 to your account on the site, we will also set several cookies to save your account information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember me”, your login will be retained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day. We use the Google Analytics service to monitor site traffic, which allows us to regularly improve our content. A cookie is saved on your computer, in accordance with the privacy policy and terms of use of this provider. This cookie does not allow us to identify you individually, as it does not store sensitive information, but it does allow us to identify repeat visits you may make to our site.
Embedded media from other sites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the other site.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. We do this so we can recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation query.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. You can request this through the channels provided on our Contact Us page.
Where your data is sent
