Who We Are

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s Privacy Policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract any location data from the images uploaded.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles).

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
