When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect:
✔ The data shown in the comment form.
✔ The visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the comment section.

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location details from these images.

Cookies

✔ If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

✔ Login cookies last two days, while screen option cookies last one year.

Embedded Content

Some pages may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from external websites. This content behaves the same way as if you visited the external site directly.

How Long We Retain Your Data
