Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies
Suggested text: When you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. We do this for your convenience so you won’t need to re-enter your information for future comments. These cookies will expire after one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to see if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain any personal information and gets deleted when you close your browser.
