Comments
When visitors post comments on the website, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string (which identifies the browser) to help detect spam.
An anonymised character string (also known as a hash) can be created from your email address and sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. You can find the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you are a registered user and upload photos to this website, you should avoid uploading photos with an EXIF GPS location. Visitors to this website could download photos stored on this website and extract their location information.
Cookies
If you write a comment on our website, this may constitute consent to store your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that you don’t have to re-enter all this data when you write another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this website, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any 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 display options. Login cookies expire after two days and cookies for display options after one year. If you select ‘Stay logged in’ when you log in, your login will be maintained for a fortnight. When you log out of your account, the login cookies are deleted.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only refers to the post ID of the article you have just edited. The cookie expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, 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 this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that 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 allows us to automatically recognise 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 user name cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and change this information.
What rights you have to your data
If you have written comments on this website, 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 purposes.
Where your data is sent
