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 have an account and you log in to this 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.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. 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.

Analytics

We collect information on your activity on our website for the purposes of improving our services.

Who we share your data with

We may disclose information to third parties for the following reasons:

• To comply with legal requirements, such as a court order
• To enforce our website’s terms of service
• To protect the rights, property or safety of our website, its users, or the public
• To facilitate a merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of our business

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.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Security of Personal Information

We take the security of personal information seriously and take appropriate measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that is transferred to or from our website.

We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the updated policy on our website and update the date at the top of the policy.
