This includes the commenter’s name, email address, website URL (if provided), and the content of the comment. Additionally, we automatically collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
Gravatar Service: We may utilize the Gravatar service, operated by Automattic Inc., to provide avatar images for commenters. An anonymized string generated from the commenter’s email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if a profile picture is associated with it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found at Gravatar Privacy Policy.
Media: If you upload images to our website, we advise against including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within the images. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website, which may compromise their privacy.
Cookies: We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalized features. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies.
