• Log data: Our servers automatically record certain information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed.
• Analytics: We use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our content. These services may set their own cookies and collect device identifiers.

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., comment forms).
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Advertising cookies: Used by third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on this and other websites.

4. Third-Party Advertising & Personalized Ads

We participate in advertising programs provided by third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense and similar services. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, or device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Website and other sites across the internet.

How ads use cookies/device identifiers: Ad networks collect data such as your IP address, browser type, and browsing activity to infer interests and deliver personalized advertisements. This process is governed by the ad network’s own privacy policies.

Opt-out options:

• You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many networks through the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page (aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
• On mobile devices, you can limit ad tracking using your device’s settings (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android).

Please note that opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.
