Comments
When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address might be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images, please avoid including EXIF GPS data. Visitors can download these images and potentially extract location data from them
Cookies
By opting in, your name, email address, and website can be saved in cookies when you comment, for convenience so you won’t need to re-enter your details. These cookies last for one year.
A temporary cookie is set when you visit our login page to check if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, cookies are set to remember your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last a year. If you choose “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
Editing or publishing an article saves an additional cookie indicating the post ID, which expires after one day and contains no personal data.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking 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 reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment, and its metadata, are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
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 that information.
Embedded Content
Embedded content from other sites behaves like visiting those sites directly, potentially collecting data and using cookies.

Data Retention
Comments are stored indefinitely for automatic approval. User profile data is editable but not fully erasable by users.
Your Data Rights

Data Transfer
