We have enabled the following Google Analytics Advertising Features:

These features allow us to collect data through both first-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (e.g., Google advertising cookies), including device identifiers.

We do not combine analytics data with personally identifiable information (PII) unless we have:

  • Provided clear notice
  • Obtained prior explicit (opt-in) consent
  • Used a Google Analytics feature that supports such merging

We do not attempt to disaggregate aggregate reports provided by Google.

We collect and process data in accordance with regional privacy regulations. In certain jurisdictions (such as the EU, UK, Switzerland, Japan, and others with similar data protection laws), we disable advanced data collection features such as Google Signals, granular location tracking, and ads personalization unless and until user consent is obtained.
