What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the browser’s string of user agents to help detect spam.

An anonymous string created from your email address (also called a hash) can be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: Automatic . After approval of your comment, your profile image is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the web, you should avoid uploading images with location data (GPS EXIF) included. Web visitors can download and extract any location data from the images on the web.

Contact forms

If you leave a comment on our site you can choose to save your name, email and web address in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and connect to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also install several cookies to save your login information and screen display options. Login cookies last two days, and display option cookies last one year. If you select «Remember Me», your login will last for two weeks. If you log out of your account, your login cookies will be deleted.

If you edit or publish an article an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data and simply indicates the ID of the article you have just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Content embedded in other websites

The articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves exactly the same as if the visitor had visited the other site.

How long we keep your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This is so that we can recognize and approve successive comments automatically, instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their user name). Site administrators can also view and edit this information. If you have an account or have left comments on this website, you can request to receive an export file of the personal data we have about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we delete any personal data we have about you. This does not include any data that we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
