Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly.
These external sites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—especially if you are logged into those sites.
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve future comments automatically.
