3. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize the Site and improve your experience. A "cookie" is a string of information that assigns you a unique identifier that we store on your computer. Your browser provides that unique identifier to use each time you submit a query to the Site. We use cookies to, among other things, keep track of services you have used, record registration information, record your user preferences, keep you logged into the Site, and maintain other information that helps us improve our services.

• First-party cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting (i.e., our Site) and can only be read by that site. They are often used for essential site functionality or to remember your preferences.
• Third-party cookies: These are set by a domain different from that of the website you are visiting. They are often used for cross-site tracking, analytics, and advertising.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Site. You may not decline web beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your web browser’s settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

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

• Google AdSense: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and other sites on the Internet.
• Opt-out: You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy.
• Personalized Advertising: Please note that if you have personalized advertising enabled in your Google account, Google may use data from your visits to our Site and other sites to show you more relevant ads. You can control personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings.

5. Sharing Your Information

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations:

• By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
• Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including data analysis, hosting services, email delivery, and marketing assistance.
• Marketing Communications: With your consent, or with an opportunity for you to withdraw consent, we may share your information with third parties for marketing purposes, as permitted by law.
• Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.
• Business Transfers: If we reorganize or sell all or a portion of our assets, undergo a merger, or are acquired by another entity, we may transfer your information to the successor entity.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7.1. General Rights (Applicable to most users)

• Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.

You can exercise this right by managing your cookie preferences or by contacting us.

9. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.
