This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of personal information when you interact with our Service. By using our website, you consent to the terms described herein.
Types of Personal Data Collected and Their Purpose
Comments:
When users submit comments on our Site, we collect information entered in the comment form along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent. This data assists us in identifying and mitigating spam. Additionally, an anonymized representation (hash) of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify if you utilize their service. Upon approval of your comment, your Gravatar image will be publicly displayed alongside your comment. For details, refer to Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.Media Uploads:
If you upload images to our website, please ensure that location metadata (such as EXIF GPS data) is removed before uploading. Other visitors may have the ability to download these images and extract embedded location information.Contact Forms:

If you post a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience; these cookies persist for one year.

Login-related cookies that remember your authentication and display preferences have varied lifespans—generally from two days to one year.

Editing or publishing articles triggers a cookie identifying the post ID edited, expiring after one day.Embedded External Content:

Site administrators have access to manage these profiles as necessary.
