1. Information We Collect

We believe in strict data minimization. We only collect:

2. Google Consent Mode v2 & Cookie Standards

We implement Google Consent Mode v2. By default, marketing and advertising signals (including ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization) are set to denied until explicit reader interaction occurs. You can modify your preferences at any time using our floating cookie preferences banner.
