User Comments
When users submit comments on our platform, we collect the information provided in the comment form, as well as data such as your IP address and browser user agent. This information is used to help us identify and block spam.

To manage avatars, we may use an anonymized version (hash) of your email address, which is shared with the Gravatar service. To learn more about how they handle this data, you can visit their privacy policy at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your public profile image becomes visible within the comments section.

Uploading Media
If you upload photos or images to our site, please make sure they do not contain embedded location metadata (such as EXIF GPS). Other site users can view and extract geographic details from such data.

Use of Cookies

Should you decide to leave a comment, you have the option to store your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience and will remain active for one year, allowing you to comment again without needing to re-enter your details.

Upon accessing our login page, a short-term cookie is created to verify your browser’s ability to accept cookies. This cookie holds no personal data and is automatically cleared when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, our system uses cookies to keep your session active and retain your visual preferences. The cookies that manage your login status are valid for 48 hours, whereas those handling display settings can remain for up to a year. If you opt for the “Remember Me” feature, your login session will be extended to 14 days unless you manually sign out, which will then erase the login cookies.

Additionally, if you create or update a post, your browser will store a cookie containing the post ID of the article. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after 24 hours.

Third-Party Embedded Content
Some content on our site may include embedded media (like videos, images, or articles). Embedded elements behave the same as if you visited the originating website.

These external websites might track your data, use cookies, or include other monitoring tools—especially if you are logged in on those platforms while viewing embedded content on our site.

Data Sharing
If you initiate a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset notification email.

Data Retention
Comments and related metadata are stored on our site indefinitely. Retaining them allows automatic approval of any future comments you may make, reducing moderation delays.

User profiles created by registering accounts will include the personal information provided. Registered users can view, modify, or remove their personal details whenever they wish (excluding changes to usernames). Website administrators also have the ability to access and edit this information.

Your Rights to Your Information
If you are a registered user or have left comments on our site, you may request a file containing the personal data we’ve collected about you. This export will include all relevant user-submitted data. You may also request that we delete this data. However, certain records may have to be retained for legal, security, or administrative purposes.
