Further, we do not require a comment author to enter any personal details simply to comment, however, if you would like your data to be ready in the site for your next comment you have the option of doing this by ticking the tickbox above the comment submit button. If using an opt-in tick-box, when used, an anonymous string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

We have no control over this but we personally send no cookies in relation to this usage.
