Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality (e.g., staying logged in or remembering newsletter preferences).

4. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to provide functionality and analytics. These vendors may collect information about your interactions with our services. Common categories include:

• Analytics: Google Analytics, Plausible, or similar (aggregate usage tracking).
• Email delivery: email service providers (for newsletters and transactional emails).
• Form handling: form providers or backend services (to accept submissions securely).
• CDN & hosting: to serve site assets quickly and reliably.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties for details. Where possible we configure them to minimize the personal data they receive (e.g., anonymizing IP addresses).

5. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA & other)

The rights available to you depend on your jurisdiction. Below are common rights you may exercise:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

We use commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect personal data. Examples include encrypted transport (HTTPS), restricted access to data, and secure hosting providers. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If a data breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and regulators as required by law.
