To ensure privacy, we recommend avoiding the inclusion of embedded location data (EXIF GPS) when uploading images to our website.

Cookies

When visitors leave comments on our site, they may opt-in to saving their name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, eliminating the need to re-enter their details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year. For registered users, temporary cookies are set to determine browser acceptance, and login cookies are used to save login information and screen display choices.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our articles may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves similarly to visiting the other website, and these websites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor visitor interaction in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

Data Sharing

In the event of a password reset request, the visitor’s IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention

Visitor comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely to enable automated approval of follow-up comments and avoid moderation delays. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information, except for the username, which is permanent. Website administrators have access to and can edit this information.
