What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
We use Giscus, a GitHub-based commenting system. When you leave a comment, Giscus may collect your GitHub username and public profile data. Comments are stored in GitHub Discussions associated with our repository.
Please review GitHub’s privacy policy here: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement
Your IP address and browser user agent may also be logged by third-party services for spam detection and analytics.
Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g., via GitHub issues or pull requests), avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors could potentially extract this data.
Cookies
This site does not use cookies directly. However, third-party services such as Google Analytics and Giscus may use cookies or local storage to function properly and collect usage data.
You can control cookie behavior via your browser’s settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, tweets, images, etc.).
Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior and site usage.
Google may collect your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring sites.

What rights you have over your data
If you’ve left a comment using Giscus, you may request its removal by deleting the comment on GitHub or contacting us.
For analytics or data collected by third-party services, please refer to their privacy policies for managing or requesting removal of your data.
