Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the third-party website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interactions with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that website.
Analytics and Tracking
We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to track and analyze how users interact with our website. These services help us understand the traffic patterns on our site, optimize user experience, and improve our services.

We do not share your personal data with third parties unless necessary for operational purposes or as required by law. For example:

- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, users, or others.
- Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
