Google AdSense & Google Analytics

We use Google AdSense to display ads on our site. Google uses cookies and similar tools to collect information about your visits (such as pages viewed and links clicked). This data helps Google deliver ads tailored to your interests. We also use Google Analytics to understand how users find and use our site. Analytics collects data like your device, geographic location, and pages visited.

We do not share personal data with Google. However, Google may set cookies and use your data according to their policies. To learn more, review Google’s Privacy & Terms. You can opt out of personalized Google ads via Google Ads Settings. To prevent data collection by Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings. However, blocking cookies may affect your experience. For detailed information, visit our Cookie Policy.

Session cookies let us keep you logged in and remember your preferences. Persistent cookies (like Google Analytics) help us count visitors and track popular pages. You can delete cookies in your browser at any time.
