Storage and disclosure of personal information
Advertisements and Third-Party Tracking: The ads you see on our website may be served by third parties, who use their own cookies to track how often an ad is viewed and to follow your
visits across different sites displaying their ads. This tracking, which is anonymous, helps advertisers deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests and limit the repetition of

collected by these advertisers, but you can opt out of being tracked by online advertisers.

Integration of Social Media Buttons
You may notice 'social buttons' across our website, designed to facilitate the sharing or bookmarking of content on various social media platforms. To enable these functionalities, we
implement scripts from third-party domains that might collect data regarding your web browsing activities, both on and off our site. If you interact with these buttons, the
corresponding social media sites will note these interactions, potentially using this data for their purposes. If logged into these services, they might also track your visit to our
site and your navigation across different pages, regardless of whether you engage with the social buttons. We advise reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party sites
to understand their data usage and your opt-out options.
