Cookies

If you leave a comment you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies.  These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment.  These cookies last for one year.

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.  The cookie expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content from other websites.  Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

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.  I have no control over what other websites do with your collected data.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data or information with anyone else, with few exceptions.  Payment information is shared with payment processing company, but no information is retained on this website.  All payment data is processed and stored by the payment processing company.  We will never sell or share your data with anyone else.  We do not like when it happens to us, so we won’t do it to you.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.  This is so we can 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 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.
