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.

link in any email we send. We will not send you marketing

emails without your consent.

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

we cannot guarantee absolute security.

SECTION 10 — THIRD-PARTY LINKS
