If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
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 visit our login page, 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.

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.
Use of Information
We use the information we collect for several purposes:
- To send periodic newsletters about new posts, updates, or other information.
- To understand user behavior to improve our website.

Affiliate Links
Our website contains affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions. These cookies are generally valid for 24-48 hours. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any third-party websites linked to from our website.
Data Protection
Your personal data will be stored securely and will not be sold or shared with third parties, except as described in this Privacy Policy. We implement appropriate and reasonable security measures to protect your personal data. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure; as such, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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.

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.
