Privacy & Cookie Policy
Your privacy matters to us. We believe you should be able to browse our website without being tracked, profiled, or monitored. That’s why we use privacy-first tools, avoid third-party tracking systems, and collect only the information necessary for our website to function properly.
Independent Analytics (No Tracking, No Cookies, No Personal Data)
We do not use Google Analytics, advertising trackers, marketing pixels, or any system that follows you around the internet. Instead, we use a privacy-focused tool called Independent Analytics.
Independent Analytics lets us see general website activity without collecting any personal information about you. All analytics data is stored securely on our own server—never shared with outside companies or third-party platforms.
- No personal data collected – No IP addresses, no profiles, no identifiable information.
- No external tracking – Your visit is never sent to advertisers or analytics networks.
- No cookies used – Independent Analytics is 100% cookieless.
- Full data ownership – All analytics data stays inside our WordPress database.
Independent Analytics gives us a basic understanding of how the site is used without compromising anyone’s privacy.
