Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and to personalize the content and advertisements we show you. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with our cookie policy.
We use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
We use cookies for various purposes, including:
We do not use cookies to collect personal information, and we do not share any information collected by cookies with third parties without your explicit consent.
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and we have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that we comply with the principles of data protection by design and by default.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can control the use of cookies on our website through your browser settings. However, please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website.
If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us. We will be happy to provide you with more information and assistance.
Please also note that our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other websites. We encourage you to be aware of when you leave our website and to read the privacy policies of other websites that you visit.
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 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.
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.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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.
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.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
