Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 27, 2025
Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what we collect, and why.
1. Information We Collect
Comments.
When you leave a comment, we collect whatever you enter (name, email, website), plus your IP address and browser user-agent string to help detect spam. We may also send your email hash to Gravatar to display your avatar.
- Gravatar’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/
Analytics.
We use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use our site. Google may collect data about your device, session duration, pages viewed, referral source, and anonymized location. See https://policies.google.com/privacy for details.
Update Alerts.
If you subscribe to post-update notifications, WordPress will store your email address and send you an alert when new content goes live. No newsletters or marketing emails—just the updates you request.
2. Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Remember your comment form details if you opt in (lasts 1 year).
- Run Google Analytics (persistent, anonymized).
- Manage WordPress sessions if you ever log in (temporary).
You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features (like comment-form convenience) may not work.
3. Data Retention
- Comments & metadata are kept indefinitely so we can auto-approve follow-ups.
- Analytics data is stored by Google per their schedule.
- Update-alert subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.
4. Third-Party Services
We rely on a few trusted services:
- Akismet (or similar) for comment-spam filtering.
- Gravatar for avatars.
- Google Analytics for usage insights.
Each service has its own privacy policy—links above.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this page occasionally. Whenever we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top.
