When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form as well as the visitor's IP address and the browser's user string to help detect unwanted messages.

An anonymous string created by your e-mail address (also called "hash") may be provided to Gravatar to check if you are using it. Gravatar's privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, the image of your profile is visible to the public within the scope of your comment.

If you are uploading images to a website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Website visitors can download and export any site data from images on the site.

If you leave a comment on our website, you can choose to save the name, email address and cookies on your website. This is for your own 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 the site, we will create a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. The cookie does not contain personal information and will be deleted as soon as you close your browser.

When you sign in, we will also create various cookies to save the login information and screen options. The input cookies last for two days and the display options cookies last for one year. If you choose Remember Me, your connection will remain for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the cookies will be removed.

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

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, pictures, articles, etc.). Built-in content from other sites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor visited the other site.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, incorporate additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with this content, including detecting your interaction with that particular link, and if you have an account.

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

For users who register on our website, we also store personal data that they enter in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal data at any time (except to be able to change their username). Managers of this site may also view and process this information.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request that you obtain an extracted personal data file that we hold for you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete the personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to comply with for administrative, legal or security reasons.

Visitor comments may be checked via an automated spam mail system.
