Comments

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 user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

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.

In addition to functional cookies, we use tracking technologies to analyze website traffic and improve user experience. This includes:
  • Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This service uses cookies to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used solely for improving our website experience.
  • Marketing & Remarketing: We may use tools such as the Meta (Facebook) Pixel or LinkedIn Insight Tag to track the effectiveness of our advertising and to serve relevant ads to users who have previously visited our site.
  • Optimization: We may use scripts like Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity to visualize user behavior via heatmaps and session recordings to improve site navigation.

You can manage your preferences or opt-out of these technologies via your browser settings or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

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. Common embedded providers include YouTube, Vimeo, and Google Maps.
