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.

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.

personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. 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.
