Comments

When readers post comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect and prevent spam.

Additionally, an anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be submitted to the Gravatar service to determine if you have a profile image.

Media

If you upload images to our platform, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to extract this data from uploaded images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience—so you don’t need to re-enter them for future comments. These cookies are retained for one year.

When you access our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.

For registered users who log in, additional cookies are used to store login details and screen preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected. Display settings are stored for one year. If you log out, login cookies are removed.

When editing or publishing articles, a cookie is saved to indicate the post ID of the article being edited. It contains no personal information and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from External Sources

Our news articles may feature embedded media such as videos, tweets, or articles from other websites. This content behaves in the same way as if you had visited those websites directly. These external platforms may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interactions if you have an account and are logged in to those services.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for verification and security purposes.

Data Retention

Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate automatic approval of future comments from the same user.

For users who register on our site, we store personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users can view, update, or delete their information at any time, with the exception of their username. Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account with us or have posted comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal, security, or administrative obligations that may require us to retain certain information.
