Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be checked against the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if available, may be displayed alongside your comment.

If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted online.

Cookies

• If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
• If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
