Comments and Cookies

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain active for one year.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Cookies

Articles on our site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. This embedded content behaves as if you have visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content.

Data Sharing and Retention

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

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
