When you leave a comment on our website, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and the user agent of your browser, are collected to help us detect spam comments. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding uploading images containing EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to your website can download and extract location data from these images.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small data file that is transferred and stored on your device. A cookie allows us, for example, to recognize your browser, your language, or to save your preferences.

Two types of cookies are used on our site: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed and can be used again during your next visit to our site. More information can be found at allaboutcookies.org.

Our Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you will be offered the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to enter this information again if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain personal data and will be automatically deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. A login cookie lasts for two days, and a screen preference cookie lasts for one year. If you select "Remember Me," your login cookie will be retained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be deleted.

When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Third-Party Cookies
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if the visitor were visiting the other site. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with that embedded content if you are logged into their website.

We may allow certain business partners to place technologies on our site. These partners use these technologies to help us analyze how you use the site, such as identifying third-party services that brought you to the Platform, marketing and promoting our services on our site and on third-party websites, helping us detect and prevent fraud, or collecting information about your activities on the website.

Our website may use social plugins provided and operated by third-party companies, such as Facebook’s “Like” button. Consequently, you may share with the third party the information you are viewing in a specific section of our site. If you are not logged into your third-party account, the third party will not be able to identify you. If you are logged into your third-party account, the third party may link information or actions related to your interactions with our site to your account with that third party. Please consult the third party’s privacy policies for more information about their data practices. The list of third-party cookies used on this site is available in the cookie management panel.

For analytics, we work with Google Analytics to obtain information about how our website is used in order to improve it. Google Analytics can be disabled via the cookie management panel. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you can also install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Please note that we have no control over this opt-out link and are not responsible for its availability or accuracy.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you can request to receive a file containing all the personal data we have about you, including data you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. All personal data we process is handled within the European Union.
