- Log and Usage Data: Our servers automatically collect information when you access the Site, such as your IP address (which may be used to infer your general location), browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and dates/times of access. This data is collected by our hosting provider (Blogger/Google).
- Google Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous traffic data to understand how users interact with our Site. This service may collect information such as your device type, session duration, and interaction with various features. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses to further protect your privacy.
- Google Search Console Data: We use Google Search Console to understand how our website performs in Google Search. This provides us with aggregated, anonymous data about which search queries lead users to our site, but it does not identify individual users.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons
A "cookie" is a small text file stored on your device. We use cookies for the following purposes:
Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART Cookie
We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising company, to serve ads when you visit our Site. Google uses cookies to make advertising more effective. These cookies help serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies (specifically the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
