You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect Site functionality. For interest-based advertising choices, you can use opt-out tools offered by your device or browser. (See Section 6 for “sale/share” opt-out options for U.S. residents.)
4) Analytics, Advertising & Affiliate Programs
We may use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand traffic and improve content. We may run ads (e.g., Google AdSense) and participate in affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates, Impact, CJ, ShareASale, or direct brand programs). These partners may set or read cookies and collect identifiers and usage data to attribute purchases, measure campaigns, and deliver or tailor ads.
Amazon Associates disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

We share personal information with:

- Advertising & affiliate partners to attribute conversions and measure performance.
- Sponsors/partners when content is sponsored and disclosure is provided.
- Authorities when legally required or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Successors in a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale (information typically transferred as part of the transaction).
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, some disclosures for advertising/analytics may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under U.S. state laws. See Section 6.
6) Your U.S. Privacy Rights (CA/VA/CO/CT/UT and similar laws)
Depending on your state, you may have rights to:

Opt-out of sale/share/targeted ads: You can request this at [email protected].

Transfers: If your data is transferred outside the EEA/UK (e.g., to the U.S.), we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where applicable.
8) Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy (e.g., analytics trends, legal compliance, security). Retention periods vary by data type and purpose. We will delete or de-identify information when retention is no longer needed unless we must keep it to meet legal or contractual obligations.
9) Security
We employ administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information (e.g., HTTPS, access controls). However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
