What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you're using it. Learn more at Gravatar's Privacy Policy.

Media

If you upload images to the site, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as other visitors can download and extract this information.

Cookies

We use cookies to improve your browsing experience. For example:

  • Saving your name and email for future comments

  • Analyzing site performance and user behavior

  • Displaying personalized ads through advertising partners

These cookies may last up to one year. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some pages may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited those websites directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze traffic and improve the site. Google collects anonymous information such as browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site.

Advertising

We serve ads using Google AdSense, which may use cookies and tracking technologies to display personalized ads based on your browsing activity.

We may also use affiliate links (such as Amazon Associates), which may track clicks and generate commissions at no extra cost to you.
