It is administered by the author under the pseudonym Ran Gares. Everything else is too vague for precise identification.
Comments
The system automatically collects data from the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser type. This is necessary to filter spam and prevent artificial intelligence from flooding the space.
If you use Gravatar, the system may check whether your aura (i.e., profile) exists there. Details: automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your avatar will become publicly visible.
Media Files
When uploading images, make sure they do not contain geolocation data (EXIF). Otherwise, other visitors could see where you came from…
Cookies
The name in comments, email, and website may be stored in cookies for up to 1 year. This is for convenience, not tracking.
When you log in, the system creates a temporary cookie to check whether your browser supports cookies. No personal information is stored there.
After logging in, several more cookies are added:
- Login (2 days)
- Screen settings (1 year)
- “Remember me” (2 weeks)
When you log out, your traces disappear.
If you edit or publish a post, another cookie with the post ID is created, valid for 24 hours.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Sometimes pages may include videos, articles, or images from other sources. In this case, they behave as if you visited the external site directly.
Such sites may collect data, set cookies, or use trackers — especially if you are already logged in there.
Who We Share Data With
No one. But if you request a password reset, your IP will be included in the notification — for security. Everything is handled transparently.
How Long Your Data is Stored
Comments are stored indefinitely (or nearly so), along with metadata, so that the same questions aren’t asked twice.
Users who register (if such a feature exists) can edit and delete their data, except for the login. Administrators also have access — not to snoop under someone else’s name, but to assist when necessary.
Your Data Rights
If you left a comment or had an account, you can request an export of all personal data or ask for its deletion.
The only exceptions are data retained by law or for security reasons.
Where Data Goes
Comments may be checked through an anti-spam service — an unobtrusive but effective guardian that prevents mischief.
