Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.
If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to Gravatar to check if you are a registered user. You can view the Gravatar service privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if associated with Gravatar, becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
When uploading images to our website, please ensure the images do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can potentially download and extract this location data. To protect your privacy, remove such metadata before uploading images.

Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser. When you log in, additional cookies save your login information and screen preferences.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the original website, meaning these websites may collect your data, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content, particularly if you are logged into their accounts.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes. We do not share personal data with third parties except as necessary to fulfil legal obligations or support services such as spam detection.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognise and approve future comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
- User Accounts: For registered users, personal information in their profile is stored as long as their account remains active. Users can view, edit, or delete their information anytime, except for their username. Administrators also have access to edit this data.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. Additionally, you may request that we erase your personal data. However, we may retain certain data to comply with administrative, legal, or security requirements.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments are reviewed using automated spam detection services. These services ensure that malicious or spam content does not disrupt the user experience or website functionality.
