Why privacy matters in your comment section

A comment widget is a third-party script that runs on every page of your site, so it can see what your readers do there. Many free widgets use that to track and profile readers, then sell the data to advertisers.Your readers don't know which widget you picked. They trust your site, and whatever the widget does reflects on you.
