Who We Are

Comments

If you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information you fill in the comment form — your name, email, and message — along with your IP address and browser details. We use this only to help filter out spam and keep our community genuine.
Your email address may be shared (as an anonymized hash) with Gravatar to check if you have a profile picture set up. You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your name and profile picture (if any) will be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload any images to our site, please make sure they don’t contain embedded GPS/location data (known as EXIF data). Anyone visiting the site can potentially download your images and extract that location information, so it’s best to remove it before uploading.

Cookies

We use cookies to make your experience on our site smoother. Here’s a simple breakdown:

Comments — If you leave a comment and opt in, we’ll save your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t have to retype them next time. These cookies last for one year.
Login page — When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks whether your browser accepts cookies. It holds no personal data and disappears when you close your browser.
Logged-in users — When you log in, we set cookies to remember your login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, display cookies last one year. If you tick “Remember Me,” your login stays active for two weeks. Logging out removes all login cookies.
Editing articles — If you draft or publish a post, a cookie saves the article ID temporarily. It carries no personal info and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some pages on our site may include embedded content like videos, images, or articles from other platforms. This embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited those platforms directly — they may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track how you interact with their content, especially if you’re logged into those platforms.
Who We Share Your Data With
We don’t sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing. The only exception is if you request a password reset — in that case, your IP address is included in the reset email as a standard security measure.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Comments and their related information are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and auto-approve follow-up comments from you in the future.
If you register an account on our site, your profile information is stored as long as your account is active. You can view, update, or delete your personal information at any time from your profile settings (note: usernames cannot be changed). Site administrators can also access and edit this information when needed.
Your Rights Over Your Data
You’re in control of your data. If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can:
Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you
Request that we delete your personal data
Just get in touch and we’ll take care of it. Please note that we may need to retain certain data for legal, administrative, or security reasons even after a deletion request.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Comments submitted on our site may be run through an automated spam detection service to keep the conversation clean and genuine. No other data is sent externally without your knowledge.
