The key points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.<\/li>\n<li>Google&rsquo;s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and\/or other sites on the Internet.<\/li>\n<li>You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time in <a href=\"https:\/\/adssettings.google.com\/\">Google Ads Settings<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>You can also opt out of many third-party vendors&rsquo; cookies for personalized advertising via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutads.info\/choices\/\">www.aboutads.info\/choices<\/a> (US) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youronlinechoices.com\/\">Your Online Choices<\/a> (EU).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Where the law requires it (EEA, UK, Switzerland), non-essential cookies, including advertising cookies, are only set after you accept them in our consent banner. Refusing them never blocks access to our articles.<\/p>\n<h2>Analytics<\/h2>\n<p>If audience measurement is enabled, it is used in aggregate form to understand which articles are read and to improve the site. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent where required.<\/p>\n<h2>Who we share data with<\/h2>\n<p>We never sell your personal data. Data is only shared with the service providers that keep the site running (hosting, spam detection, and advertising or analytics partners when enabled), each bound by their own privacy terms, and with authorities when the law requires it.<\/p>\n<h2>International transfers<\/h2>\n<p>Some providers, including Google, process data in the United States or other countries. Where required, such transfers rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.<\/p>\n<h2>Retention<\/h2>\n<p>Server logs are kept for 12 months, comments for the lifetime of the article, contact emails for 24 months, and consent records for 6 months. Data is then deleted or anonymized.<\/p>\n<h2>Your rights<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your data, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time, via the &#8220;Manage cookies&#8221; link in the footer, without affecting processing already performed. EEA and UK readers can also lodge a complaint with their data protection authority.
