Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site usage. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period).
These cookies do not store personal data such as names, emails, or addresses. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may limit some site functionality.

We use third-party services to help us understand and improve our website. These include:
- Google Analytics: To track anonymous traffic patterns and user engagement.
- Advertising networks: Such as Google AdSense, which may place cookies to serve non-personalized ads based on general browsing context, not individual identity.
These third parties have their own privacy policies and are not under our control. We encourage you to review their policies for more information.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the information collected. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We implement standard security practices, including secure server hosting and regular system updates, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of the sale of personal information
