What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Who we share your data with
When you use our website, your web browser automatically sends certain information to Google Analytics. This includes the URL of the page you’re visiting and your IP address. We may also set cookies on your browser or read cookies that are already there.
Google uses the information shared by our site to deliver their services, maintain and improve them, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertising, and protect against fraud and abuse.
We may process your information with your consent or to pursue legitimate interests such as providing, maintaining and improving our services to meet the needs of our users.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
