Privacy Policy
What Type Of Information Do We Collect?
We collect personal information that you provide to us. Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our website.
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor's IP address and browser to help prevent spam.
Why Do We Collect This Information?
We use Google Analytics to record information about the pages a user has seen, for example the URL of the page, time of day, device used, etc. The information that we collect is anonymized and sent to Google Analytics. Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to report on visitor interactions on this website.
Users may disable cookies or delete any individual cookie from your browser settings tab.
In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that, once installed and enabled, disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits. Note that this add-on only disables Google Analytics measurement.
Google Analytics also collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give website owners a sense of which country, state, or city in the world their users come from (also known as “IP geolocation”). See this page for Google Analytics security and usage of data.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.
This site uses Google Adsense for the purposes of placing advertising on the site, and they will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes. To learn more about Google Adsense data usage, click here.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube, Twitter/X, Instagram, Ads etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that website. To learn how to control that information and request deletion, visit the Privacy Policy of the original website.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, and will become part of the content of the site. 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. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Analytics data is retained indefinitely.
