Analytics
This site uses Statcounter analytics to display useful statistical data about which pages are being read and how people are coming to them. IP addresses are masked, no personal data is collected or retained, and Statcounter does not share visitor data with third parties. Statcounter is awesome.
Statcounter sets a cookie (called “is_unique”) in your browser. This cookie is used only to determine whether you are a first-time or returning visitor and to estimate unique visits to the site, and no personal data is stored in the cookie.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on articles or posts, the site collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. This helps me to confirm the 1 comment out of every 100 that isn’t spam.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos from YouTube and WordPress.tv, tweets, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These services may collect your IP Address, your User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional third party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including correlating your interaction with the content with your account with that service, if you are logged in to that service. I recommend exercising your privacy rights directly through the services using the links above.
