Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand how people use our site and to improve it. This service collects non-personal information, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. This data is aggregated and anonymous, meaning we cannot use it to personally identify you.
Our website uses a cookie consent banner to give you control over this. If you choose to decline cookies through the banner, Google Analytics will not collect any information from your visit. If you accept, the service collects non-personal information, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. This data is aggregated and anonymous, meaning we cannot use it to personally identify you.

5. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide to us from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
