Comments

When vis­it­ors leave com­ments on the site I col­lect the data shown in the com­ments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string cre­ated from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar ser­vice to see if you are using it. The Gravatar ser­vice Privacy Policy is avail­able here:

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, you should avoid upload­ing images with embed­ded loc­a­tion data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the web­site can down­load and extract any loc­a­tion data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a com­ment on my sites 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. These cook­ies will last for one year.

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

When you log in, I will also set up sev­er­al cook­ies to save your login inform­a­tion and your screen dis­play choices. Login cook­ies last for two days, and screen options cook­ies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will per­sist 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 saved in your browser. This cook­ie includes no per­son­al data and simply indic­ates the post ID of the art­icle you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

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

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

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long I Retain Your Data

If you leave a com­ment, the com­ment and its metadata are retained indef­in­itely. This is so I can recog­nise and approve any fol­low-up com­ments auto­mat­ic­ally instead of hold­ing them in a mod­er­a­tion queue.

For users that register on my web­sites (if any), I also store the per­son­al inform­a­tion they provide in their user pro­file. All users can see, edit, or delete their per­son­al inform­a­tion at any time (except they can­not change their user­name). Website admin­is­trat­ors can also see and edit that information.

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, includ­ing any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any 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 through an auto­mated spam detec­tion service.
