SECTION 4 — COOKIES & THIRD-PARTY TOOLS
------------------------------------------
Our website uses the following third-party services that may
place cookies or collect data about your visit:
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand traffic patterns and
how visitors interact with our content. Google Analytics
collects anonymized usage data such as pages viewed, session
duration, and general location. Google may use this data in
accordance with its own privacy policy, available at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing
the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Social Media Pixels (Meta / TikTok)
Our website may use tracking pixels from Meta (Facebook/
Instagram) and TikTok. These pixels allow us to measure the
effectiveness of our social media content and, if we run ads,
to understand how visitors from those platforms interact with
our site.
These pixels may collect data about your device, browser,
and behavior on our site and connect it to your social media
profiles if you are logged in. You can manage your ad
preferences directly through each platform:
- Meta Ad Preferences: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences
- TikTok Ad Settings: https://www.tiktok.com/privacy/ads
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you
visit a website. They help sites remember your preferences
and gather analytics data. You can control or delete cookies
through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies
may affect how some parts of our site function.
SECTION 5 — EMAIL NEWSLETTER
------------------------------
If you sign up for our newsletter, we will use your email
address to send you updates, stories, and occasional

send emails (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or similar).
Your data is stored on their servers in accordance with
their privacy policies.
- You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe"
link in any email we send. We will not send you marketing
emails without your consent.
- We do not share your email address with any outside parties
for their own marketing purposes.
SECTION 6 — HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We may share data only in these limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Third-party tools that help us operate
our website and communications (e.g., our website host,
email platform, analytics provider). These vendors are
contractually required to protect your data.
- Legal obligations: If required by law, court order, or
governmental authority, we may disclose information to
comply with legal requirements.

acquisition, or sale of our business, your information

method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and
we cannot guarantee absolute security.
SECTION 10 — THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our website may contain links to other websites — such as
