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 to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors may be able to download and extract location data from these images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or links). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username).
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you — unless we are obliged to keep it for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
