Personal data we do not collect
We do not ask you to create an account, leave comments, or subscribe to a newsletter. Accordingly, this site does not intentionally collect or store any information that can identify you as an individual (such as your name, email address, or phone number).
Data collected by third-party partners
However, our advertising and analytics partners (Google AdSense, Google Analytics) place cookies and similar technologies in your browser. These cookies may collect:
- Anonymised IP address
- Browser & device type

Google uses this information to personalise ads shown to you. You can learn more and opt-out at Ads Settings. We do not have access to, nor do we combine, this data with any other information to identify you personally.

- Ad personalisation: Opt out via Ads Settings or install the Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on.
- Cookies: You may disable cookies in your browser; the site will still function.
Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using the information described above is:
- Legitimate interest: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site so we can improve content and user experience. This processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in operating and maintaining the site.
- Consent: Where required by applicable law, we rely on your consent for the placement of advertising cookies by Google AdSense. You may withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or the opt-out links above.

Data retention
Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Advertising cookies set by Google AdSense expire according to Google's cookie policies. We do not store any personal data on our own servers.
International data transfers
Google, as our analytics and advertising partner, may transfer data to servers in the United States and other countries. Google participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and maintains appropriate safeguards for international transfers. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
