What this site records about you, and why.

Posts. What you write, your images, the time, and your IP address. Addresses are shown only to staff who need them, never publicly.

A device fingerprint. While you browse, a small script reads ordinary details of your browser and computer (its type and language, the screen size, the time zone, the graphics hardware, and how it draws a hidden test image) and turns them into a short code. A cookie keeps that code, and your posts are linked to it.

Why. Only to recognise someone who comes back after being banned. It is not used for advertising, not sold and not shared.

Who sees it. Staff only, by role. Junior staff see an opaque code that shows two posts came from the same device. Senior moderators can open the underlying details, and every time they do it is written to the staff log.

How long. The underlying details are deleted after 30 days. The code stays attached to a post for as long as the post exists.

Avoiding it. The site works without JavaScript, so you can switch it off, or use a browser that blocks fingerprinting; you will simply not be recognised. Deleting the cookie also breaks the link.
