- Details you share directly, such as your name or email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, fill out a contact form, or comment on posts.
- Technical details about your visit, such as the device you use, browser type, general location, and which pages you access. This data is automatically collected using cookies and similar tools.

3. Cookies and Ads
Our site uses small data files called cookies that help store your preferences and track how the site is used. These allow us to offer a smoother browsing experience and to understand which content visitors enjoy most.
We also use third-party services like Google AdSense, which may use cookies and tracking tools to display ads that fit your interests. These tools help match you with ads that are more relevant to your browsing habits.
You can manage or turn off cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings. Just keep in mind that some site features may not work correctly without them.
