Third-Party Advertising and Personalized Ads

- Limit the number of times you see an ad.
- Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.
Personalized ads: You may see ads that are tailored to your browsing history and preferences. This is done using data collected via cookies and device identifiers. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you can opt out through the following resources:
- Google Ads Settings: Visit adssettings.google.com to manage or disable personalized ads from Google.

Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type, device type, and pages visited. This data is used to improve our content and user experience.
