What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
We do not currently use contact forms on this site. If you contact us by email, we keep that correspondence for as long as necessary to handle your enquiry.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not 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 you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site (pages viewed, time on site, general location and device type). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information. You can read Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy, and opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s prior visits to this website.
Affiliate links
Some posts on this site contain affiliate links, including links to the Amazon Associates program. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Any post containing affiliate links includes a disclosure to that effect.
Who we share your data with
We share aggregated, non-identifying analytics data with Google (Analytics and, where applicable, AdSense) as described above. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the UK, you have additional rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR, including the right to object to processing of your data for interest-based advertising. You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the details below.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Analytics and advertising data described above is processed by Google.
