Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to analyze website traffic and usage patterns. GA4 collects data such as page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user demographics (age range, general interests) in aggregate form.

We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2, which means:

If you consent to analytics cookies, GA4 collects full measurement data.
If you decline, GA4 operates in cookieless mode and does not store any cookies on your device. Google may use modeled conversions to fill reporting gaps.
We do not enable Google Signals or User-ID features that would allow cross-device tracking.

GA4 data is retained for 14 months. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage tracking scripts on the Site. GTM itself does not collect personal data or set cookies. It triggers other tags (such as GA4) based on your consent preferences.

Affiliate Links and Advertising

Some content on the Site may contain affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners may set their own cookies when you click these links. We clearly disclose affiliate relationships in our content.

We may also use Google Ads for remarketing and conversion tracking, subject to your cookie consent preferences. If you have declined advertising cookies, no ad-related tracking occurs.

Email and Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and may use a third-party email service provider to send emails. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email. We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

Service providers: Third parties that help us operate the Site (hosting, analytics, email). These providers are contractually required to protect your data and only use it to provide services to us.
Legal requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or other legal process.
Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
