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.

If you leave a comment, your name and comment may be publicly visible. However, your email address will never be published or shared.

We use this information solely to improve site functionality, manage spam, and engage with our community.

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 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.

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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone. However, we may share limited data with trusted third-party services to help us operate our website, deliver content, analyze traffic, and improve user experience.

This may include:

Website hosting and infrastructure providers (such as Hostinger)
Analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site
Email marketing services (if you subscribe to our newsletter)
Affiliate networks (such as Amazon Associates) — when you click on an affiliate link, tracking cookies may be used to track referral activity
Spam detection services (such as Akismet, if applicable) to help keep our site secure
Social media platforms — if you interact with embedded content (like Instagram feeds, YouTube videos, or share buttons), these platforms may receive data as if you visited them directly

We only share data that is necessary for the functionality of these services and take steps to ensure your privacy is protected.
