- Usage data: Pages viewed, time and date of visit, referring URL, and time spent on each page.

How we use your data
- Server logs: To maintain security, diagnose technical issues, and generate aggregated traffic statistics.
- Advertising cookies: To allow partners to serve interest‑based ads, limit ad frequency, and measure campaign performance. We share only pseudonymous data with those partners, and they act as independent data controllers.

- Hosting provider: Server logs are processed by our hosting service under a data processing agreement.
- Legal obligations: We may disclose data if required by law or a valid governmental request.
Data retention
- Server logs: Retained for 90 days, then automatically deleted.
- Cookie data: Controlled by each advertising partner; refer to their privacy policies for retention periods.
- Email correspondence: If you contact us, your message and our reply are kept for up to 12 months for quality purposes, then deleted.

Cookie management
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser’s “Settings” or “Preferences” menu. Most browsers allow you to delete existing cookies, block third‑party cookies, or refuse all cookies. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the delivery and relevance of advertisements.
Security measures
We implement technical and organizational safeguards, including HTTPS encryption, access controls, and regular software updates, to protect your data. However, no online platform is completely secure.
International transfers
Our advertising partners may process cookie data in countries outside the EU/EEA. Where this occurs, they rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms to ensure an adequate level of protection.
Policy updates
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically. The effective date at the top of the page will indicate the latest version. Significant changes will be communicated through a notice on our website.
