This Privacy Policy is designed to let you know how we collect and use your personal information.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
We do not keep contact form submissions on this website and do not use the information submitted through the form for marketing purposes.
Cookies
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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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.
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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
Analytics
In order to track your experience and provide better services to our visitors, we use Google Analytics.
We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics, which means your full IP address is never saved. You can find out more about how Google manages user data for analytics and advertising in Google’s privacy documentation.
Newsletter
We send out a semi-regular newsletter to a mailing list of readers. The only way to be included on this mailing list is to opt-in, provide your name and email address, and confirm your subscription to this mailing list. You may ask to unsubscribe from this list at any time and have your details deleted.
The details of subscribers on this list are stored using the MailChimp service. This service allows us to track opens and clicks on our emails. We use this information to improve the content of our newsletters.
Advertising
Google AdSense
Google AdSense is a web advertising service used on this site. Google AdSense transmits data to Google servers in the United States. Google AdSense stores cookies on your computer and uses information such as your IP addresses to compile reports on your website activity to adapt ads based on your browsing.
Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie used by Google AdSense by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy here: Google Privacy
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
