Comments

Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form in addition to the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to facilitate spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (otherwise known as a hash) can be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

Suggested text: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the images on the website.

Cookies

Suggested text: If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These are used for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close the browser.

When you log in, several cookies will be set to store your login information and screen options. Login cookies last for two days while screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember me”, your login will persist for a fortnight. If you log out of your account, login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data, but simply indicates the ID of the article you have just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, integrate additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with them, including tracking your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

With whom we share your data

Suggested text: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we keep your data

Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This is how we can automatically recognise and approve any subsequent comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

For users who 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 their user name, which they cannot change). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What rights do you have over your data

Suggested text: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file from the site with the personal data we have about you, including the data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete all personal data about you. This does not include data that we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Suggested text: Visitor comments can be checked through an automatic spam detection service.
