Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, the data entered in the comment form, along with your IP address and your browser’s user agent, are collected to help us detect spam comments.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will appear publicly next to your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, we advise you not to upload images containing GPS EXIF data. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you do not need to re-enter them when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you access the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and your display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember me”, your login will be retained for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are erased.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply indicates the ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles…). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor were visiting the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to their website.

Data retention periods

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Your data rights

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you may request a file containing all personal data we hold about you, including data you provided. You may also request deletion of your personal data. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Transmission of your personal data
