Introduction
This site collects data in two different ways. Basic usage data supplied by your browser is saved in the server logs every time you load a new page. And additional data is stored in a database when you post a comment on this site. Cookies are only created if you use the commenting system.
Server logs
Every time you load a page an entry is added to our standard Apache server logs, storing technical information sent by your browser, such as your IP address and the names and versions of your web browser and operating system. No personal information such as name or email address is stored here.
Commenting system
When you post a comment on this web site, the comment and its metadata is stored in a sqlite database in our local installation of the Isso commenting system. This metadata includes:
- IP address
- Your name
- Your E-mail address
- Your photo or avatar image
Your name and photo is shown with the comment to all visitors of the site. The IP and E-mail addresses are never shown to visitors, but may be used by the web site's owner to contact you, and to send you notifications of replies to your comment if you opt-in to that using the corresponding checkbox in the form.
Third-party tracking
Clicking the Google or Facebook buttons in order to authenticate with the commenting system will run third-party scripts from those services. No such third-party scripts or tracking is run on this site unless you explicitly click those icons.
