When a visitor makes a comment on a post, WordPress sets a cookie with the
filled in information. Then, when the visitor returns or navigates to
another post, that cookie is used to fill in the comment form with the
previously used values. Because this is delivered to the browser as flat
HTML, content delivery networks will cache this information and expose
personally identifiable information until the TTL expires.
