Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter them later. These cookies last one year.
Visiting the login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
