6. Cookies, Analytics, and Ads

The site currently uses these third-party services:

These services may use cookies or similar technologies and may collect technical data such as IP address, browser data, page URLs, and event data. You can manage cookies in your browser and adjust ad personalization in your Google account settings.

If you submit a privacy request, we can also process requests to opt-out of personalized advertising processing associated with your data where applicable.

We share personal data only when needed to run the service, including with:

  • Google (analytics and ads infrastructure)
  • Vercel (hosting and analytics infrastructure)

We do not sell personal data for money. We may share online identifiers and internet activity data with advertising partners for ad delivery/personalization, depending on your settings and applicable law.

8. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside your country, including outside the UK/EEA. Where required, transfers rely on recognized safeguards (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent lawful transfer mechanisms provided by vendors).

  • Longer retention may apply where needed for legal claims or compliance obligations.

10. Security Measures

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS), restricted administrative access, and reliance on provider security controls. No online system is risk-free, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
