Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is used to help with spam detection and site security.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at:

After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) is visible publicly alongside the comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, be aware that images may include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images from the site and extract this data. We recommend removing location information before uploading media.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These exist for convenience so you do not need to re‑enter this information later. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login session to two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and indicates the post ID of the content you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the originating website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third‑party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, particularly if you are logged in to their services.
This site may also link to or embed third-party services such as Ko-fi for voluntary support. Any information you provide to those services is handled according to their own privacy policies, not this site’s.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email as part of the security process.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows follow‑up comments to be approved automatically rather than held for moderation.
For users who register on this site (if any), the personal information provided in their user profile is stored. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.
You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.
