What Data We Collect

We collect personal information in the following ways:

• Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

• Media Uploads: If you upload images, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may extract it.

• Cookies: We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, manage logins, and remember your preferences.

• Embedded Content: Some pages may include videos, images, or articles from other websites that may collect your data as if you visited their site directly.

How We Use Cookies

• If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for one year.

• When you log in, we use cookies to store login information (for two days) and display preferences (for one year). Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks.

• Temporary cookies are used for login verification and are deleted when you close your browser.

• When editing or publishing content, a one-day cookie stores the post ID of the article you edited.

How We Share and Protect Your Data

• If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

• Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

• After a comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) becomes visible to the public.

How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments: Stored indefinitely to recognize and approve future comments automatically.

• Registered Users: For users with accounts, we store the personal data provided in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their information anytime (except their username). Website administrators can also access and edit this data.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can:

• Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.

• Request deletion of your personal data, except for information we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Content from other websites (such as videos or articles) may behave as if you visited those sites directly. These websites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction with their content—especially if you are logged into their platform.

Where Your Data Is Sent

All visitor comments may be screened automatically through a spam detection service.
