We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site, including the number of visitors, the pages they visit, and how they arrived at our site. This information is anonymized and used only to improve our platform. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our platform. AdSense uses cookies to:
Personalized Advertising Opt-Out: You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by using the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.

Our consent management system implements the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2) where applicable to ensure compliant ad serving for European users.
We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. When a DNT signal is detected, we disable Google Analytics tracking and non-essential advertising cookies. Essential cookies required for the Service to function will still be active.
We may update this Cookie & Advertising Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
