We do not collect any personal information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details. There are no user accounts, login systems, or forms that submit personal data to our servers.

Data collected automatically

When you visit our site, certain data is collected automatically by third-party services we use:

• Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-XMV848VRKE) — collects anonymized usage data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/city level). This data is used solely to understand how visitors use the site and improve our content. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors.
• Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-7018008238318776) — displays advertisements on our site. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites on the internet.
