5. Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. It collects information such as pages viewed, device and browser type, and approximate location. Google Analytics only runs with your consent, which you can give or decline in our cookie banner. You can also opt out using Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We also use Jetpack Stats to see basic traffic information, such as page views and referring sites.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Declining analytics cookies won’t stop you from using the site.

We share data only with service providers who help us run the site:
- Google LLC (Google Analytics): usage data
- Automattic Inc. (Jetpack): email subscriptions and site statistics
- HostGator (web hosting): the site and its data are stored on their servers
These providers may only use your data to provide services to us. Some are located in the United States, so your data may be transferred outside the EU/EEA. Where that happens, we rely on safeguards such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses. We may also disclose information if required by law.
