Cookies

If you leave a comment on the site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and URL in cookies. This feature enhances convenience by allowing you to avoid filling out the form each time you add a new comment. The cookie data will be removed from your browser after one year.

If you have an account and log in to the site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is deleted when you close your browser window.

When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and display settings. Login cookies are deleted after two days, and display setting cookies expire after one year. If you select “Remember Me” when logging in, your login details will be saved for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be deleted accordingly.

If you publish or edit an article, we will save a cookie in your browser that contains the ID of the edited article. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Accessing embedded content from other websites is comparable to visiting the third-party website directly.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interactions if you are logged in to the third-party website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so that we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

We store the user profile information of registered users (if any). All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Only the username cannot be changed. Website administrators can also view and edit user profile information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request a file of your personal data, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. The right to delete personal data does not apply to data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
