We currently do not use third-party analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics) on the Site. We may add analytics in the future, in which case this Cookie Policy will be updated and you will be notified.

If analytics are added, they will be used to understand how visitors use our Site so we can improve content and user experience. These cookies collect information in an anonymous, aggregated form.

3.3 Marketing & Affiliate Cookies

As part of our affiliate marketing activities, marketing cookies may be set by our affiliate partners (such as Amazon Associates, VidIQ, and others) when you click on affiliate links on our Site.

These cookies enable enhanced functionality, such as remembering your preferences (e.g., language settings or theme preferences). We currently use minimal functional cookies. If we add more, this policy will be updated.
