### Get Pro

The free plugin remains functional without purchasing or activating the Pro edition.

### Privacy

The core functionality of WPCodeForge Comment Suite operates locally within WordPress.

The free plugin does not transmit comment content to WPCodeForge as part of its 
standard comment-management functionality.

When anonymous voting is enabled, a randomly generated browser cookie is used to
help prevent repeated votes. The associated random identifier may be stored with
the relevant comment as voting metadata.

Administrators are responsible for configuring the plugin consistently with their
own privacy and legal requirements.
