7. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

This website and related services may use third-party providers to operate and deliver services, including:

Embedded media providers (such as video or social media platforms, where used)

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

10. How Long I Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
