Other information needed to process a request, as indicated on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year. If you have an account and log in to the site, 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.

Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. If you select "Remember Me," your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed. Editing or publishing an article will create an additional cookie with no personal data, only indicating the post ID of the article, which expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves the same way as if the visitor visited the other website. These third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interactions with the embedded content, including tracking if you are logged in to that website.

Analytics

How Long Do We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize 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 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.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Cookies

We use cookies or similar tools to collect information and assign each visitor a unique, random number as a User ID. This helps us understand user interests based on browsing activity. Cookies do not contain personal data unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., through registration). Our advertisers may also use cookies, but we do not control this.

Links to Other Sites

Our privacy policy applies only to our website. We provide links to other websites that are beyond our control and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.

Information Sharing

We do not share sensitive personal information with third parties without obtaining your consent, except in the following circumstances:

  1. When required by law, court order, or government authority.

  2. When sharing within our group companies or employees for processing personal information on our behalf, ensuring confidentiality and security.

Information Security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. This includes encryption and physical security measures. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of our database or prevent interception while data is transmitted over the Internet. Any information posted in public areas is available to anyone with Internet access.
