• Usage Data: IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, time and date of your visit, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and other diagnostic data.
• Cookies & Local Storage: Small files or tokens placed in your browser to remember your preferences (e.g., cookie consent choice, language selection) and to enable analytics and advertising features.
• Advertising Data: Aggregated, anonymised signals used by our advertising partners to serve contextually relevant ads. We do not receive personally identifiable information from this process.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
• To analyse visitor traffic and understand how users interact with content.
• To display relevant advertisements through third-party ad networks.
• To remember your preferences (language, cookie consent) across sessions.
• To detect and prevent technical issues or abusive behaviour.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use both first-party and third-party cookies. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some parts of our Site may not function properly without cookies.

• Essential cookies: Required for the Site to function (e.g., storing your consent decision).
• Analytics cookies: Set by Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics.
• Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense to personalise and measure ads.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:

• Google AdSense — serves contextual advertisements. You may opt out via Google Ad Settings.
• Vercel — our hosting provider which processes request logs (IP address, user-agent) at the infrastructure level.

5. Data Retention

We retain server-level logs for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes, after which they are automatically deleted. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form in accordance with Google's standard retention settings (26 months by default, adjustable in your account).

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
• Object to or restrict processing of your personal data.
• Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior processing).
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (e.g., the ICO in the UK, or a supervisory authority within the EU under GDPR).

Because we collect no directly identifying information, most requests can be addressed by adjusting your browser's cookie settings or by using the Google opt-out tools linked above.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
