4. Third-Party Services

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand Site traffic and usage. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We use this information only to improve the Site. Learn more at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Google Ads and Third-Party Advertising
We participate in Google Ads and may use the Google AdSense or Google Marketing Platform services to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our Site or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
You may opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info or https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
5. How Information Is Shared
We do not sell your personal information. Information collected automatically may be processed by the third-party service providers described above (such as Google) under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.
6. Data Retention
We retain log and analytics information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Information held by third-party services is retained according to their own policies.
