Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your:
– Name
– Email address

These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This temporary cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those websites directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in on that website.
3. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
4. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

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