Comments

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.

The site has grown considerably, so it is impossible to display each programme I am affiliated too. To be safe, you can assume any links leading to products or services are affiliate links that I will receive a commission for. I only promoteproductss that are valuable to my readers and will deliver value.
