You can leave comments on the site and may do so completely anonymously. You may use your “real” email address or name; if you do, that data is associated with the comment. We won’t use the information associated with comments in any way, won’t sell the information or share it with third-parties. We don’t associate IP addresses with comments or store them.

You may sign up to our site newsletter. We use a double opt-in for that and will store your email address for the sole purpose of delivering the newsletter to that email address. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Your email address will be removed when you unsubscribe and no record of the data will be kept.

The site displays share and subscribe options for select social networks. These are implemented in the most privacy-friendly manner; they are static links that don’t connect to third-party sites automatically and won’t record any user interaction unless activated by the user.

We do use Google Analytics to collect information about website visits. We have configured Google Analytics to use the lowest period of time for which data that is collected is associated with cookies and user identifiers, and the time period does not reset on new activity.
