Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to have your name, email address and site address saved in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-type your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will be stored for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is destroyed when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will save several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies are stored for two days and screen options cookies for one year. If you select “Remember me”, your session will remain active for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only contains the ID of the article you edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other sites

This site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as when a visitor visits the other site.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and track your interaction with the embedded content. If you have an account and are logged in to this site, your interaction with the embedded content may be tracked.

Who we share your data with

When you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.

How long do we keep your data?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve subsequent comments instead of holding them in a queue for approval.

For users who create an account on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information (except for changing their username) at any time. Site administrators can also see and edit this information.

What are your rights over your data?

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to export the personal data we hold about you, along with any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete all the personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked by an automatic spam detection service.
