4. Cookies, Tracking Technologies, and Consent Management
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. Some are essential for the Website to function; others are used for analytics and advertising.
We use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) integrated with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF). This CMP is required under Google’s EU User Consent Policy for users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. It allows you to give, manage, or withdraw your explicit consent for:
The use of non-essential cookies and local storage.
The collection, sharing, and use of personal data for personalized advertising.
You can access and change your consent preferences at any time through the cookie consent banner displayed on the Website (usually in the bottom corner) or via a persistent “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
We participate in the Google AdSense program to display advertisements on the Website.
Important disclosures required by Google AdSense program policies:
Third parties, including Google and its advertising technology partners (Ad Technology Providers), may place and read cookies on your browser, use web beacons, or employ other technologies (including IP addresses and device identifiers) to collect information as a result of ad serving on our Website. This information is used for purposes such as:
Delivering personalized (interest-based) advertisements.
Frequency capping.
Fraud detection and prevention.
Aggregated reporting and analytics.
Google may collect data about your visits to this Website and other sites to personalize the ads you see. We share certain data with Google for this purpose, in compliance with Google’s data usage policies.

Other processors (e.g., hosting providers, analytics tools) bound by data processing agreements.

We do not sell personal data.
