Comments
When visitors leave comments or reviews on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymised string created from your email address (called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you use it. After approval, your profile picture becomes visible to the public next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, profile or product review images), avoid uploading files that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from uploaded images.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your browsing experience and store session information. If you leave a comment or review, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks.
Cookies are also used for analytics and store operations (for example, saving your shopping cart and currency preferences). You can disable cookies in your browser at any time, though some parts of the site may not function correctly without them.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or links from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if the visitor had visited the external site directly.
