• Usage data: Pages visited, links clicked, time on page, referring URL, and browser/device type via server logs and analytics tools
• Cookies: Small files stored in your browser to remember preferences and measure traffic patterns
• Click tracking: When you click an affiliate link, we log the event (program ID, timestamp, anonymized IP) to measure affiliate performance and comply with partner reporting requirements

We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily submit it (for example, via a contact form).

We use the following types of cookies and similar tracking technologies:
