If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. These cookies may store your preferences and help us track certain interactions.
- Comments: 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 you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect your experience on our site.
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 if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites.

We use third-party services to analyze website performance and gather insights on user behavior:
- Google Analytics (GA4): We use GA4 to collect information about how visitors interact with our website. This includes details like your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site.

- Facebook Pixel (for advertising)
These providers are bound by data protection agreements and only use your data for the purposes outlined in this privacy policy.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
