Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you won’t have to re-enter this information when commenting again. These cookies last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is removed when you close your browser. We also use cookies to save your login details and screen preferences, which can last for up to two weeks if you select “Remember Me.” Once you log out, these cookies will be deleted.

When you publish or edit an article, an additional cookie is set, which only records the post ID of the edited article. This cookie expires after one day.
