 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.
