We use Google AdSense to serve advertising on our Site.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies (specifically the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.
Other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on the Site. You can opt out of some third-party vendors’ uses of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Our Site participates in affiliate marketing and may include affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click on or make purchases via affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate Programs (e.g., Web Hosting, SEO Tools): When you click on an affiliate link (for example, to a web hosting company or a software provider), a cookie is placed in your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions.
This practice is governed by the privacy policies of the respective affiliate networks and merchants (e.g., ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, or the individual company’s affiliate program).

D. Social Media Marketing & Sharing

Social Sharing Buttons: Our Site includes social sharing buttons (e.g., for Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest). Interacting with these buttons (e.g., clicking “Share”) may allow the third-party social media platform to collect information about your IP address and the page you are on, and to set a cookie. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use a third-party email marketing service (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit) to manage our email list and send emails.

When you subscribe, you provide your name and email address, which are stored by this service.
These services also use tracking technologies (like pixels) in their emails to track engagement, such as who opened the emails and who clicked on the links. This helps us measure the performance of our email campaigns.
Your data is governed by the privacy policy of our email provider.

When you purchase a digital product from us, we use a third-party payment processor (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) to handle the transaction.
