User Comments

We collect comment details, including your IP and browser info, to detect spam. If you use Gravatar, a hashed email may be shared to show your avatar once your comment is approved. See their privacy policy.

Uploading Media

Avoid uploading images with location data (EXIF GPS), as others may be able to extract that information.

Use of Cookies

When you comment, cookies save your info for a year to simplify future comments; a temporary cookie on login checks cookie support and deletes on close; login cookies keep you signed in for up to 48 hours (or 14 days with “Remember Me”) and remember display settings for a year, while post edits set a cookie with the post ID that expires in 24 hours—all without storing extra personal data.

Third-Party Embedded Content

Some content on our site may include embedded media (e.g., videos or articles) that function just like on their original sites. These sites may use cookies or track your data, especially if you’re logged into them while viewing the content.

Data Sharing

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

Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to help approve future comments faster.

Registered user profiles store the info provided and can be viewed, edited, or deleted by the user (except usernames). Admins can also access and update this data.

Your Rights to Your Information

Registered users or commenters can request a file with their data or ask for its deletion. Some data may be kept for legal or security reasons.

Spam Prevention and Privacy Protection

To protect privacy and prevent spam, comments may be scanned by an automated tool.
