You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies and local storage values without preventing the site from functioning as intended.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We may use web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) to understand how visitors use our site. These tools use cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized data about page views, sessions, and navigation patterns. This data helps us improve content and user experience.

Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

• To analyze website traffic and improve our content and user experience
• To maintain the security and integrity of our website
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We may use third-party services (hosting, email delivery, analytics) that process data on our behalf under data processing agreements.
• Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public.

5. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months to allow us to reference past correspondence. Newsletter subscriber email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe.
