An anonymous string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile photo will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract all location data from images on the site.
If you leave a comment on our site, you can activate the recording of your name, e-mail address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave your next comment. These cookies will be stored for 1 year.
If you have an account on the site and log in, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser supports cookies, the cookie does not contain any personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set several cookies to record information about your connection and your screen settings.

Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if the user had visited the other site.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, integrated third-party tracking applications and track your interaction with this integrated content. In particular, track your interaction with integrated content if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically identify and approve each subsequent comment rather than holding it in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our site (where applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, change or delete their personal data at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also consult and modify this information.
