We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and will not share it with third parties except as described in this policy.

1.3 Affiliate Tracking Data

Some links on this Site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, tracking parameters (such as a unique affiliate identifier) are typically appended to the URL. The destination platform may use these parameters, along with cookies set on your device, to attribute your visit to our affiliate relationship. We do not directly collect personal information through these tracking parameters, but the destination platform may do so according to their own privacy policies.

We use the information collected for the following purposes:

• Site operation and improvement: To maintain, operate, and improve the functionality, content, and user experience of the Site

• Security and fraud prevention: To detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents, abuse, and unauthorized access
• Communication: To respond to inquiries, feedback, and correspondence you send to us
• Legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

This Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather analytical data. By using the Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this section.

3.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They allow websites to remember your preferences, track your activity, and provide a more personalized experience. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the Site you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain, typically for analytics or advertising).

3.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: Necessary for the Site to function properly. These include cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences and session state. The Site cannot function correctly without these cookies.
• Analytics cookies: We use web analytics services (such as Google Analytics or similar tools) to collect anonymous, aggregate data about how visitors use the Site. This helps us understand traffic patterns, popular content, and areas for improvement. Analytics cookies typically collect information such as pages visited, time on site, referral source, and approximate geographic location (derived from IP address).
• Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click an affiliate link on this Site, the destination platform may set a cookie on your device to track the referral. This cookie allows the destination platform to attribute your registration or activity to our affiliate relationship. We do not control these third-party cookies — they are governed by the destination platform's own privacy policy.

3.3 Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and to configure preferences for specific websites. Please note that blocking essential cookies may impair the functionality of the Site. For more information on managing cookies, consult your browser's help documentation.
