Who We Are
Welcome to ! Your privacy and security are our top priorities. Below is a clear explanation of how we handle your data when you interact with our website.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the details provided in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent, to aid in spam detection.
If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string (or hash) of your email address may be sent to check if it’s linked to a profile. Gravatar’s privacy policy can be found at /privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will appear publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our site, please ensure they don’t contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download these images and extract their location information.
Cookies
For Comments: To enhance convenience, we may store your name, email, and website in cookies when you leave a comment. These cookies last for one year.
For Login: A temporary cookie will be set when you visit our login page to confirm your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data and is removed upon closing your browser. Login cookies last two days, while screen preference cookies last a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks.
For Articles: Editing or publishing an article creates a one-day cookie that stores the post ID of the edited article, without containing personal data.
Embedded Content
Our articles may feature embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles) from external websites. This content behaves as though you’re visiting the external site directly, which may collect data, use cookies, or track your interactions if you’re logged into their services.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
Data Retention
Comments: Your comments and related metadata are retained indefinitely for seamless recognition and approval of follow-ups.
User Profiles: For registered users, personal details provided in their profile are stored. Users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators also have access to manage this data.
