3. Cookies
This Site uses only necessary cookies required for security, basic operation, and content delivery.
- We do not use advertising, tracking, behavioral, or analytics cookies beyond what is strictly necessary for the Site’s basic functionality.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law. Information submitted voluntarily may be deleted upon request, unless retention is legally required.
7. Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. No online system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
