If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding uploading images that contain GPS EXIF data. Visitors to the website may download and extract location data from such images.

  •  To establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and credit risk reduction).

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any
follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Cookies can be either “persistent” or “session” cookies: A persistent cookie is stored by the browser and remains valid until its set expiration date, unless deleted by the user before that date. A session cookie expires at the end of the user session, when the browser is closed.
