3.2 Non-Personal Information: Non-personal information collected through tools like Google Analytics helps us analyze the usage patterns on our website, improve user experience, and optimize our content.
4. Google Analytics, Search Console, and Google AdSense
We use Google Analytics, Search Console, and Google AdSense to gather information about website traffic and user behavior. These services may place cookies on your browser to collect non-personal information. Please review the respective privacy policies of Google Analytics, Search Console, and Google AdSense for more information.
5. 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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
6. 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.
7. Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our website, but some features may be limited.
8. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over the privacy practices or content of these sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these websites before providing any personal information.
9. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the security of your personal information. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version will be posted on our website with the effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
11. 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 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.
12. How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
