4. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience. Specifically:

  • Comment-saving cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year.
  • Login-related cookies:
    • A temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies (discarded when you close your browser).
    • When you log in, we set cookies to save your login status (lasting two days), screen display choices (one year), and—if you select “Remember Me”—persistent login for two weeks.
    • When you log out, the login cookies are removed.
  • Post-editing cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved indicating the post ID. This expires after one day.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves as if you have visited the source website directly.

Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with that content if you have an account and are logged in to their service.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

  • Spam detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments & metadata: Retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
  • Registered users: If any users register, we store the personal information provided in their user profile until they delete their account (users can view, edit, or erase their data at any time, except for username changes). Administrators can also view and edit user profile information.
