For strange browsers and or operating systems, or when a bot is accessing a website, it might store the full user agent. ↩ Reply

Cookies
This website generates a temporary cookie for each user that loads any webpage on the site. This cookie is used for logins primarily. But also used to verify page counts ( so refreshing the page will not result in counting 2 views from the same person ) and to protect emails ( and other contact info ) from being scraped by bots. ↩ Reply
Some features might not work if cookies are disabled, such as trying to comment will probably result in "Access Denied" message, since the cookie is used to guess whether you are a person or a bot. ↩ Reply
Restarting the browser should make the browser forget about the cookie, giving you a fresh one. Which prevents me from knowing that you have visited the website twice. ↩ Reply
This cookie is not shared with third-parties. But if you are connecting to blenderdumbass.org, the cookie could potentially be visible to @Madiator2011 . ↩ Reply
Accounts
If you are logged in to your account, the server knows that it is you that is requesting pages. ↩ Reply
The passwords for accounts are stored as SHA-512 hashes on the server. ↩ Reply
Every account is publicly visible. Contact information is protected from bots by using server-side guessing into whether the connection is done by a bot or by a human. But any real human can see the contact information you add in your account settings. ( Example: @blenderdumbass ) ↩ Reply
All of your posts and comments are publicly visible too. ↩ Reply
JavaScript
As of now, the website is using zero lines of JavaScript code. Some publications might have embeds from PeerTube or other websites, who might send JavaScript. But for the most part if you disable JavaScript everything should function properly. ↩ Reply
In the Tor Browser, the NoScript feature might also block some media embeds, like videos and sounds. Which aren't JavaScript. ↩ Reply
