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

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles).
Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, especially if you are logged in to those services.
