Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and user-agent string (used to identify the browser) to help spam detection .

An anonymized character string (also known as a hash) can be created from your email address and passed to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. You can find the privacy policy of the Gravatar service here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that when you write another comment, you don’t have to re-enter all of this information. These cookies are stored for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we 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, we will set up some cookies to save your login information and viewing options. Login cookies expire after two days and display options cookies after one year. If you select “Keep me signed in” when registering, your registration will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only refers to the post ID of the article you just edited. The cookie expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Entries on this website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third party tracking services, and record your interaction with that embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to this 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 we store your data

If you write a comment, it will be stored indefinitely, including metadata. This way we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (the username cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What rights you have to your data

If you have an account on this website or have written comments, you can request an export of your personal data from us, including any data that you have shared with us. In addition, you can request the deletion of all personal data that we have stored about you. This does not include data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security reasons.
