3) Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies to remember preferences, understand site usage, and improve content. You can manage cookies in your browser settings. If we implement a consent banner, we will honor your choices (e.g., essential vs. analytics/ads).

4) Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third parties. They process data under their own privacy policies:

• Ads / Monetization (if enabled, e.g., Google AdSense or other networks)
• CDN/Hosting and security providers
• Embedded content (e.g., social/video players) which may set their own cookies

We share only what’s necessary to operate the service, and we require appropriate safeguards where applicable.

5) Legal Bases (GDPR/UK-GDPR)

Where applicable, we process personal data under these bases:

• Consent (e.g., newsletters, non-essential cookies).
• Legitimate interests (e.g., site analytics, security, improving services).
• Contract (e.g., responding to direct requests you make).
• Legal obligation (where we must comply with law).

6) Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability.

7) Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined here, or as required by law. Analytics data may be kept in aggregate form for trend analysis.

8) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) Children’s Privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us to remove it.

10) International Transfers
