When visitors leave comments on the blog, the data shown in the comments form is collected, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. You may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies.
