Use of personal data collected
Comments
When you leave a comment on our website, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and your browser’s user agent, are collected to help us detect spam.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.
Media
If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, we advise you to avoid uploading images containing EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to your website can download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies
A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a website. We use two types of cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Contact form security (protection against fraudulent submissions and spam) | Session (deleted when the browser is closed) | Not required (strictly necessary) |
| astech_consent | Remembers your cookie choice | 6 months | Not required (strictly necessary) |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics audience measurement: anonymised visit statistics | 13 months maximum | Required: set only if you accept |
On your first visit, a banner allows you to accept or refuse audience measurement cookies, or to customise your choice. Refusing is as easy as accepting and does not prevent you from using the website. Your choice is kept for 6 months, after which you will be asked again.
You can change your choice at any time: manage my cookies (also available at the bottom of every page). You can also configure your browser to block cookies.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles…). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited that other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to their website.
Statistics and audience measurement
With your consent, we use Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) to measure website traffic and improve its content. IP addresses are anonymised. The data collected may be transferred to the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Without your consent, no audience measurement tool is loaded.
Use and transfer of your personal data
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if possible), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments on the website, you can request to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Transfer of your personal data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
