When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help detect spam. Your email may be hashed and sent to Gravatar to check if you have a profile picture. Gravatar’s privacy policy. 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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images, please ensure they don’t contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as others can extract this information.

  • Comments Cookies: If you comment, we save your name, email, and website in cookies for one year.
