Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and use information about you. Cookies are small data files placed on your device that allow us to remember your actions and preferences.
We use cookies for purposes such as:
- Operating and maintaining our service.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set your web browser controls to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our site, though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. We may share non-personally identifiable aggregate information with third parties for purposes such as reporting on site usage or trends.
We may use third-party services, such as analytics providers, who process data on our behalf. These service providers are contractually bound to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
Data Retention
We retain the automatically collected usage data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We periodically review and delete or anonymize data that is no longer needed.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information collected via our site from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection laws, including the GDPR, you have rights regarding your personal data. As we primarily process non-personally identifiable usage data, the applicability of some of these rights may be limited depending on whether the data can be attributed to you. Where your data is processed, your rights may include:
- The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
- The right to request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- The right to request erasure of your personal data.
- The right to restrict processing of your personal data.
- The right to object to processing of your personal data.
- The right to data portability (where applicable).
- The right to withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent).
To exercise any of these rights, where applicable, please understand that we would need sufficient information to identify you and the data in question, which may be difficult or impossible with the limited data we collect.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.
