Analytics cookies — Google Analytics cookies that track anonymous browsing behavior as described in Section 1.
Affiliate tracking cookies — when you click an affiliate link on this Site (see Section 11), the destination retailer or its affiliate network (for example, Amazon Associates, CJ Affiliate, Awin, or Rakuten Advertising) may place a tracking cookie on your device to record the referral. These cookies are set by the third-party network, not by us, and are governed by that network’s own privacy policy.

6. Third-Party Advertising and Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. This Site does not currently display third-party banner advertising. If this changes — for example, if we join a display advertising network such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, or Ezoic — this Section will be updated to name the network(s) involved, and:

The advertising network(s) may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve ads and measure their performance.
Where required by law, we will obtain your consent (via our cookie consent tool) before any non-essential advertising cookie is set for visitors in the EEA, UK, and other jurisdictions that require it.
You will always be able to opt out of personalized advertising through the consent tool, your browser settings, or industry opt-out pages (e.g., the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info, or the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org).

Beyond the above, we share limited data with the following categories of service providers, solely to operate this Site:

Google Analytics, which receives anonymized browsing data as described in Section 1. Google’s data practices are governed by Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Our web hosting provider, which may retain server logs as part of providing hosting services. These logs are technical in nature and are not used for marketing.
Affiliate networks we participate in (see Section 11), which independently track referrals and purchases made after you click an affiliate link.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request.

7. Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted from Google’s systems.
