5. Cookies, Consent, and Categories

I use a cookie consent banner and preferences panel (provided by Silktide) to let you control which categories of cookies are used. You can change your preferences at any time by using the cookie icon shown on the site.

The main categories of cookies used on this website are:

Where required by law (including the EU/EEA GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive), analytics and advertising cookies are only activated after you have given your consent via the cookie banner.

6. Analytics (Google Analytics)

I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as:

• Which pages you visit and for how long.
• The device and browser you use.

This information is processed in an aggregated way and is not intended to identify you personally. I enable privacy-friendly features where possible (such as IP anonymization, where available and applicable).

7. Advertising (Google AdSense and other partners)

This website may display advertising. Ads may be provided by Google AdSense and/or other advertising partners.

Required AdSense cookie disclosures:

• Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

• If you have not opted out of third-party ad serving, cookies of other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on this site.

If you decline advertising cookies in the cookie preferences panel, advertising personalization cookies will not be activated where consent is required. In that case, you may still see non-personalized advertising (where available) or fewer relevant ads.

I do not have access to the full personal information collected by advertising partners. Their processing of data is governed by their own privacy policies.

8. Affiliate Links
