Comments
When visitors leave comments on TurkishDiplomats.com, the site collects the data shown in the comment form, and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. By default, WordPress captures the commenter’s name, email address, and website URL, along with the comment itself. This information is used to identify the commenter and potentially pre-fill the comment form on future visits. Additionally, if the commenter chooses to opt-in, WordPress may store cookies on their device to remember their information for the next time they comment, enhancing the user experience. These cookies typically last for one year, unless the user clears them from their browser. Understanding these aspects is crucial for users to acknowledge how their data is handled and to ensure transparency in accordance with privacy laws.
