3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website or other websites. If you use the Site, you consent to our use of these technologies as described here.
Common uses:
- Essential cookies: required for basic site functionality.
- Performance/analytics cookies: to measure site traffic and improve UX (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Advertising/targeting cookies: used to show relevant ads (e.g., Google AdSense and its partners).
4. Google AdSense and Advertising
We use Google AdSense and other advertising services to display ads on the Site. Google and other third-party advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve, target, and report on ads. Information collected may include usage and device data to provide interest-based advertising. For information on how Google uses data and how to opt out of personalized advertising, please consult Google’s advertising policies and Ads Settings.
If you prefer not to receive personalized ads from Google, you can visit Ads Settings or use Google’s tools to opt out of personalized advertising.
5. Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to track and analyze Site usage. The Google Analytics service collects information such as visit duration, pages viewed, referral sources, and device information; this data helps us improve the Site. To opt out of Google Analytics collection for your browser, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Third-Party Services & Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites (for resources, downloads, or advertising). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. When you leave our Site, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
We may also work with third-party service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processors). These providers have access to personal data as necessary to perform their functions but are contractually obligated to keep it confidential.
7. How We Use Your Information
We use information for purposes including:
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Site and our services.
- To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
- To send newsletters, marketing communications (where permitted) and updates.

We only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described or as required by law.
8. Legal Basis for Processing (EU/GDPR)
If you are in the EEA, our legal basis for processing personal data includes: your consent (where required), performance of a contract, legitimate interests (such as site security and analytics), and compliance with legal obligations. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

If you serve users in the EU or other regions with consent requirements, you should implement a cookie consent banner/Consent Management Platform (CMP) that supports the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework or equivalent to collect and store user consent choices.
