What are cookies?
 Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a web server. They help remember your preferences and understand how you use the Site. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses.

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Required (Essential) Cookies
     These are necessary for basic Site functions, such as security, load balancing, and core WordPress operations. Without them, the Site may not work properly.

  • Analytics Cookies
     If enabled, these cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are visited most often and how users navigate). We may use Google Analytics for this purpose.

  • Preference Cookies
     These remember your choices or settings (such as display preferences).

  • Marketing / Third-Party Cookies
     If we integrate third-party services (for example, social media embeds or advertising tools), these third parties may set their own cookies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through our cookie settings tool. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the Site functions.

4. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and secure the Site

  • To analyze Site performance and usage

  • To improve our content, layout, and user experience

  • To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you

We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

5. How We Share Information

We may share information with:

     Third parties that help us operate the Site and provide services such as hosting, analytics, and security.

  • Legal and Safety Obligations
     If required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

  • Business Transfers
     If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or other business transfer, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell personal information for money. If we ever begin selling or “sharing” personal information as defined by California law (for example, for cross-context behavioral advertising), we will update this Privacy Policy and provide a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option.

We use this data in aggregated or de-identified form where possible.

You can learn more about how Google handles data here:

 You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on available at:
 https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

We configure Google Analytics to limit the use of personal information where possible. We do not knowingly enable advertising features such as Google Signals or remarketing unless explicitly stated otherwise in an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

7. Your Privacy Rights (California Residents)

If you are a California resident, you may have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

At this time, we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and our practices.

You may exercise your rights by contacting us at [Contact Email] and indicating your request. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

8. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If we implement technologies that sell or share personal information, we will honor browser-based opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), to the extent required by California law.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
