Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data this website collects, how we use it, and your rights. By using this site, you accept these practices.

Data We Collect

Automatic collection via analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand site traffic and content performance. Google Analytics automatically collects:

Pages visited and time on page
Device type (desktop/mobile/tablet) and browser
Approximate geographic region (country/city level)
Traffic source (search engine, direct, referral)
Session data including navigation paths

This data is aggregated — it helps us understand which content is useful, not who individual visitors are.

Cookies: We use the following cookie types:

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) for traffic measurement
Affiliate tracking cookies (set by affiliate networks when you click affiliate links)
Session cookies for basic site functionality

You can block or clear cookies through your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies prevents Google Analytics tracking without affecting site functionality. Blocking affiliate cookies prevents attribution of purchases to this site but does not affect your experience.

How We Use Data
