We do not sell personal information.

Analytics services

We may use privacy-focused or industry-standard analytics tools (such as Google Analytics 4 and Plausible) to measure site usage. These services receive technical data about your visit. Where required, we configure them to minimize personal identification.

You can limit tracking with browser extensions, “Do Not Track” settings, or opt-out tools provided by analytics vendors.
