3. Traffic Analytics and Advertising

We use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze website traffic. Google Analytics collects information such as:

• Pages visited.

• Time spent on pages.

• Navigation paths (for instance, the links clicked to reach different pages).

Cookies

Google Analytics uses cookies (small text files stored on your device) to gather this data. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, allowing us to improve usability, allocate resources, and plan maintenance activities.

Ad Personalization

We currently do not have Google Ads on our website. However, if we implement Google Ads in the future, Google may use data collected through Google Analytics cookies to personalize ads shown within its advertising network. This means that the ads you see may be based on your interests, which are determined by your browsing activity across websites that use Google services.

Managing Ad Personalization

You can control how Google personalizes ads for you through the Google Ads Settings. On this page, you can view and adjust your ad settings, including turning off personalized ads.

Opting Out of Interest-Based Ads

Additionally, if you prefer not to see interest-based ads from Google, you can opt out by visiting the Google Ads Opt-Out Page. Please note that opting out will not stop ads from appearing on your device, but they may be less relevant to your interests.

For more information on how Google uses your data for ad personalization, you can read Google's Advertising Privacy & Terms.

Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. If you prefer, you can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Retention

Google Analytics retains data for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. For more information, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Open-Source Libraries

We use open-source libraries to develop tools and enhance functionality.

• Licensing Responsibility: Open-source libraries are governed by their respective licenses. Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with these licenses when using our tools.

• Feedback: If you believe we have used any library that violates copyright or licensing policies, please contact us, and we will promptly address the issue.

Our website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of these sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of any third-party websites you visit, especially if they collect personal information.

6. Data Security

We take data security seriously and strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information. Our security protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to meet industry standards and address potential vulnerabilities.

While no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we have implemented the following measures to minimize risks:

• We ensure secure communication through HTTPS to protect your interactions on our website.

By implementing these measures, we aim to provide a secure environment for your data, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.
