Cookie
When you leave a comment on the site, you may opt-in to have your name, email address, and site stored in a cookie. This is for your convenience and saves you from having to re-enter your details when leaving other comments. This cookie is retained for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser can accept cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is destroyed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we also set a number of cookies to retain your login and display information. The login cookie is retained for two days and the display options cookie is retained for one year. If you select “Keep me logged in,” your login information is retained for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookie will be deleted.
If you edit or publish a post, a further cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data, it simply shows the ID of the modified post and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other sites
Posts on this site will contain embedded content (videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves exactly as visitors would if they visited that site.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content. This includes tracking your interactions with embedded content if you are logged in to that site using your account.
Duration of data retention
When 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 keeping them in the moderation queue.
If you are a registered user on this site, we will store the personal information you provide on your user profile page. All users can view, edit, and delete their personal information (but not change their user name). Site administrators can also view and edit that information.
Your rights to your data
If you have an account on this site or have ever left a comment on the site, you can make a request to receive the personal data we hold about you (including all data you have provided) as an export file. You may also make a request to have your personal data erased. This does not include data that we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Comments by visitors may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
