Blog Comments 

Cookies – Cookies are bits of data that are stored on your computer. If you leave a comment on the blog portion of our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

How Long Do We Retain Data – If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. 

Where Your Data is Sent – Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Embedded Videos From Other Websites

We may post an embedded video from either YouTube or Vimeo. Embedded video 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.
