Cookies & Local Storage
This website does not use cookies. We use browser localStorage to store an anonymous visitor identifier (a random ID) and sessionStorage for session tracking. These are first-party only and are not shared with any third party. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
IP Geolocation
We use your IP address to determine your approximate geographic location (country, region, city) via the ip-api.com service. This data is cached on our server to minimize external requests. The geolocation is approximate and does not identify your exact address.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Analytics data is used internally only. The only external service that receives your IP address is ip-api.com for geolocation purposes.
Data Retention
Analytics data (page views, events) is retained indefinitely to provide historical insights. Contact form submissions are retained until manually deleted. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Object to the processing of your data
- Clear your localStorage data through browser settings at any time
