3. Cookies & tracking
We use cookies for essential functionality (sessions, preferences) and for analytics via Google Analytics 4. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may stop working correctly. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles.
4. Third-party services
We may share limited, anonymized data with the following processors for hosting, security, and analytics purposes: Cloudflare (CDN & security), Google Analytics 4 (audience measurement), and our hosting provider.

7. Data security
We protect data in transit with TLS 1.2+ encryption and rely on industry-standard hosting and firewall protections. No system is perfectly secure; we do not guarantee absolute security of any information transmitted to or stored on our servers.
