When uploading media, please be aware that EXIF GPS location data may be embedded in your files. We recommend that you remove this data, as it can be accessed by visitors to our site.
Cookies
We use cookies to store your name, email, and website for one year, so you don’t have to re-enter them when leaving a future comment. Temporary cookies help us determine if your browser supports cookies. Login cookies will remain for two days, while screen preference cookies will remain for a year. If you select the "Remember Me" option, your login will last for two weeks. Logging out will delete all cookies. Additionally, a separate cookie stores the article ID of any post you modify, which expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
If our site contains embedded content (e.g., videos, images), it behaves the same as if you visited the external website directly. These websites may collect your data, use cookies, and track your interactions, especially if you're logged into their platforms.
Data Sharing
When you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to help us automatically approve future comments. If you are a registered user, your personal data is stored and you can view, modify, or delete it at any time. However, your username cannot be changed. Administrators have access to and can modify your data.
Your Rights
You can request a file of all personal data we have stored about you. You may also request the deletion of your personal data, except for data we are required to keep for legal, security, or operational reasons.
Spam Detection
To protect our site from spam, comments are checked using an automated spam detection service.
