Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies to remember preferences and assess performance. Analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics 4) provide aggregated statistics on visits and engagement. You can learn more in our Cookie Policy and change your choices at Cookie Preferences. If you reject non-essential cookies, certain features may be limited.
Programmatic Advertising
We use Google AdSense to serve and measure ads. Google and its partners may use cookies or identifiers to deliver ads, measure performance (impressions, clicks), prevent fraud/abuse, and (where enabled) show interest-based ads. You can manage non-essential cookies in our Cookie Preferences. To adjust Google ad personalization, visit adssettings.google.com.
Email & Communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address to send updates under your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking Unsubscribe in any email or by contacting [email protected] / Contact. We use a third-party email service provider to deliver campaigns and measure performance (e.g., opens, clicks) to improve relevance; some metrics use standard tracking pixels. We retain your email until you unsubscribe or request deletion. We do not sell your email address. See also our Cookie Policy for marketing/analytics cookies.
Contact Forms & Support
When you submit a form, we process the data you provide to respond to your request. This may include name, email, and your message. Form submissions may pass through anti-spam and email delivery services.
Comments & Community Spaces
If comments are enabled, we may collect the data shown in the comment form, and also your IP address and browser user-agent string to help spam detection. Public comments may be visible to other visitors.
Affiliate Links & Advertising
Some pages include affiliate links. If you click those links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners may set cookies or use tracking parameters to attribute referrals. Our editorial coverage is independent and not influenced by affiliate partnerships. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Third-Party Service Providers
We may share limited data with service providers under contract who help us operate the Site (e.g., hosting/CDN, analytics, email delivery, security/anti-spam, payment/checkout if applicable). These providers may process data on our behalf and are required to protect it.
International Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your residence. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual clauses) to protect your data.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary by data type (e.g., support emails vs. analytics logs).
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no system is 100% secure. If you believe your account or data has been compromised, contact us immediately.
