6. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect information about how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as pages visited, time spent on the Site, and general location information.
Google Analytics data is processed in aggregate/pseudonymous form and helps us understand overall site performance and content engagement. We have configured Google Analytics in accordance with Google’s data processing terms.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information on how Google collects and processes data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use Mailchimp, a third-party email marketing platform, to manage subscriptions and send communications. When you subscribe, your name and email address are stored on Mailchimp’s servers and processed in accordance with Mailchimp’s Privacy Policy.
We use Mailchimp to:
- Send newsletters, article updates, and promotional emails

You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included in every email, or by contacting us directly.
