If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. Gravatar’s privacy policy applies to their processing.
8) Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, social posts, images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
