The collected information is used solely for the following purposes:

Improving website performance and user experience
Analyzing traffic patterns to understand reader interests
Ensuring website security and detecting abuse
Delivering relevant content and advertising (via third-party services)

We do not use this data to identify individuals or make decisions that affect you personally.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to enhance site functionality. We use cookies for:

Remembering your preferences (e.g., language or theme)
Enabling analytics and advertising services
Maintaining session data during navigation

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some site features but will not prevent access to content.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to support our operations:

Google Analytics: Tracks anonymous usage patterns to improve content relevance.
Advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense): Serve ads based on general browsing behavior, not personal identification.
Content delivery networks: Improve site speed and reliability.

These services may collect data under their own privacy policies. We do not control their practices and encourage you to review their policies directly.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard measures to protect data, including secure hosting, regular updates, and encrypted connections (HTTPS). However, no digital transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access, but we take reasonable steps to minimize risks.

Your Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:

Know what personal information is collected
Request deletion of their data
Opt out of the sale of their personal information
Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

Since we do not sell personal data and do not collect personally identifiable information, these rights are largely applicable to data collected by third parties. You may contact us with any questions or requests regarding your data.
