What We Collect

Analytics (always active)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our sites. This collects anonymized data including pages visited, time on site, approximate location (country/city level), device type, and referral source. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

Advertising cookies (consent required for EU/EEA)

If you accept cookies via our consent banner, we may use Google Ads remarketing to show you relevant advertisements on other websites. This involves Google setting cookies to recognize your browser. You can opt out at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or cookies.

Contact forms

If you submit a contact form on any of our sites, we collect the information you provide (typically name and email address). This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.

How We Use Your Data

• To improve our content and understand which topics are most useful
• To show relevant ads to returning visitors (only with your consent)
• To respond to inquiries submitted through contact forms

Cookies and Consent

For visitors in the EU/EEA, we show a cookie consent banner before enabling advertising cookies. You can choose to:

• Accept All — enables analytics and advertising cookies
• Reject — only basic analytics remain active (no advertising cookies)

Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage and persists until you clear your browser data. Non-EU visitors are not shown a banner, and all cookies are enabled by default.

Third-Party Services

• Google Analytics 4 — website analytics (Google Privacy Policy)
• Google Ads — remarketing/advertising (Manage your ad settings)
• Cloudflare — CDN and DNS (Cloudflare Privacy Policy)
