When visitors read our content and leave comments on this site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymised 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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to this website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract any location data from images on the website.

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 visit our login page, 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 to any existing, and potentially a future service, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices.

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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

Some of the plugins we use on this site may have access to your data to enable you use this site efficiently. Also, this site contains affiliate links, therefore some links embedded will take you to the third-party sites; these sites may have access to your data as explained in the section above.

We use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to measure the performance of our content and the number of visitors on our website. These tools track the number of visitors to our site and information such as the geographical location of visitors to the site.

Password reset

If we introduce products or services which require you to sign up and subsequently log in, you may need to reset a password if needed at some point. When you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

Affiliate links

This site contains affiliate links. This means that we will get a commission from third-party sites when you visit their site or make a purchase using our link, or both. Therefore, some links embedded will take you to the third-party sites; these sites may have access to your data as explained in the section on, ‘Embedded content from other websites’.

Sign-up forms

When you fill a form on this site, we may retain your details and contact you using the data you provide.

Subsequent ways we contact you may include sending you relevant newsletters, product or service announcements, or any other information we share with visitors of this website. You will always have the option to unsubscribe from any newsletter or emails by unsubscribing through the email that we send to you.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise 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.
