This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.

Cookies: Cookies are small files stored on your device. Our Service may use cookies for:

Essential Operations: Some cookies may be necessary for the basic functioning of the website (e.g., from our hosting provider or Next.js framework).
Third-Party Services: Services like Google Custom Search Engine (for site search) may use cookies to provide their functionality or for analytics.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you have visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
