4. Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, 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.
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) that behave in the same way as if you visited the other website. These embedded content sources may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the content. This tracking also applies if you have an account and are logged in to that external website.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is to facilitate the automatic recognition and approval of follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for the username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
