Cookies

If you leave a comment on the Website, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is purely for convenience, so you don't need to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we create several cookies to save your login credentials and display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Content on this Website may include embedded media such as videos, images, or articles from other sites. Embedded content from external websites functions exactly as if you had visited those sites directly.

These external websites may collect information about you, use cookies, implement additional third-party tracking, and monitor how you interact with their embedded content. This includes tracking your interactions if you have an account with those websites and are logged in.
