Privacy & Cookie Policy

Effective date: 2025-09-01
Last updated: 2025-10-23

1. Introduction

We value your privacy. This website primarily serves as read-only content, but we also display advertising through Google AdSense. This means that limited information may be collected via cookies and similar technologies for the purpose of showing relevant ads.

This policy explains what information is processed and how it is handled in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU ePrivacy Directive, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

2. Information We Do Not Collect

  • We do not use contact forms.
  • We do not allow user accounts or registrations.
  • We do not ask for or store personal information such as names, email addresses, or payment details.
  • We do not sell or share any data directly with third parties beyond the use of Google AdSense (see Section 6).

3. Server Log Files

Like most websites, our web server automatically generates standard technical log files for security and maintenance purposes. These may include:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages viewed
  • Referring website (if applicable)

This data is used solely to ensure the website functions correctly, to maintain security, and to diagnose technical problems. It is not used to identify individuals unless required by law (e.g., to investigate malicious activity).

Log data is stored only for the minimum time necessary, typically 90 days, and then deleted automatically.

4. Cookies and Advertising

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertising. This involves the use of cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
  • Limit the number of times you see the same ad.
  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Google may use cookies and device identifiers to provide personalised or non-personalised ads depending on your consent choice.

When you first visit our site, you will see a consent banner (provided by Google’s Consent Management Platform) that allows you to accept or reject different categories of cookies. Your preferences can be changed at any time using the consent management link in the footer of the site.

For more information about how Google processes data in its advertising products, see Google’s Privacy & Terms page:

5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under GDPR and CCPA/CPRA:

  • The right to know what data is collected and how it is used.
  • The right to access, correct, or delete your personal data (where applicable).
  • The right to opt-out of personalised advertising.
  • The right to withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time.

You can exercise these rights via the consent form shown on first visit, or by revisiting the consent management settings.

6. Data Sharing and International Transfers

We do not sell or share personal data directly. However, because we use Google AdSense, certain information (such as cookies, device identifiers, and IP addresses) may be shared with Google for advertising purposes.

Google may process this information on servers located outside your country. Google participates in international compliance frameworks such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our website is informational and not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). Google AdSense also restricts personalised advertising to children in compliance with applicable laws.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy from time to time (for example, if cookies or advertising technologies change). The updated version will always be posted on this page with the latest revision date.
