2. What personal data we collect and why
a) Contact forms
When you contact us via the contact form, we collect the data you provide (such as your name, email address, and message).
This data is used solely to respond to your request and is not used for marketing purposes.
Legal basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
b) Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect:
- Data entered in the comment form
- The visitor’s IP address
- The browser user agent string
This data is collected to help detect unwanted comments (spam) and for site security.
An anonymized string (hash), created from your email address, may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it.
Gravatar Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/
After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you use Gravatar) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Legal basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
c) Media
If you upload images to the site, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) because visitors can download these images and extract this information.
3. Cookies
This site uses technical and functional cookies.
a) Comment cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies.
These cookies are meant for your convenience and expire after one year.
b) Login cookies (for administrators or registered users)
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is created to check if your browser accepts cookies.
It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in:
- Login cookies last for two days
- Screen option cookies last for one year

It expires after one day and contains no personal data.
4. Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics in its basic configuration, with IP address anonymization enabled, in accordance with the site owner’s statements.
Google Analytics uses cookies and collects usage data such as:
- Pages visited
- Device and browser information
- Anonymized IP address
The anonymization feature shortens IP addresses before storing them, thereby reducing user identification.
Google Privacy Policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).
Analytical cookies are only placed after obtaining user consent via a cookie banner.
5. Embedded content from other sites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles).
Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the third-party site directly.
These sites may:
- Collect data about you
- Use cookies
- Track your interactions
We have no control over these third-party services.
6. With whom we share your data
If you request a password reset (if user accounts are enabled), your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Visitor comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service.
Aside from the services mentioned above (such as Gravatar, Google Analytics), we do not sell or rent your personal data.
7. Data retention period
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to allow automatic approval of subsequent comments.
Messages sent through the contact form are retained only as long as necessary to respond and kept minimally for follow-up purposes.
Registered user profiles (if applicable) are kept until the user deletes their account.
