3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted or expired).

3.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: Necessary for the basic functioning of the Site (e.g., to remember your comment preferences).
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Advertising cookies: Set by third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) to deliver relevant ads, limit the number of times you see an ad, and measure ad effectiveness.

You can control and/or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, if you disable cookies, some features of the Site may not function properly. For more information, visit aboutcookies.org.

4. Third-Party Advertising and Personalized Ads

We use third-party advertising companies (such as Google AdSense) to serve ads when you visit our Site. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you.

4.1 How Ads Use Cookies and Device Identifiers

Ad networks may use cookies, web beacons, or other device identifiers to:

• Build a profile of your interests based on your browsing history.
• Show you personalized ads on our Site and elsewhere on the web.
• Measure the performance of ad campaigns.
• Prevent the same ad from appearing too often.
