Comments
When visitors post comments, the information entered in the comment form is collected, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection purposes.
A hashed version of the commenter’s email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check for an associated profile. The Gravatar privacy policy is at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After a comment is approved, the associated profile image may be publicly visible with the comment.
Media
If images are uploaded to the website, it is recommended that location data (EXIF GPS) is removed before uploading. Other visitors can download images and extract any location data contained in them.
Cookies
If a comment is posted, an optional cookie can store the name, email address, and website for future use. This cookie expires after one year.
If the login page is visited, a temporary cookie is set to check if cookies are enabled. It does not store personal data and is deleted when the browser is closed.
When a user logs in, cookies are created to store login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days. Display preference cookies last for one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, the login remains active for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie is stored in the browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
