- An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
Our site uses Google Analytics. You are able to opt-out of data collection through the GDPR bar that appears at the bottom of the site. Google Analytics does not identify you personally as a visitor to our website, but it does give us an insight into location, how you found us, which links you have used to visit our website and which pages you visited. All of this information helps us to improve our website for future visits and new visitor customer experience.
Who we share your data with
Your data is not shared with any other business at any time.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
