We do not ask for, and you should not send us, passport numbers, alien registration numbers, visa application files or other identity documents.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, to measure how it is used and, where enabled, to show advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work as intended if you do.
4. Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (including through Google Site Kit for WordPress) to understand how visitors use the Site, for example which articles are read and how visitors arrive. Google processes this data under its own policies. Learn more at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
5. Advertising
We use or may use Google AdSense to display advertising.

Where required by law, including for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalized advertising cookies are used, through a consent message shown on the Site.
6. Affiliate links
Some articles may contain affiliate links. If you click one and later buy a product or service, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The affiliate partner may use cookies to record that the visit came from our Site. Affiliate relationships do not change our editorial assessments, and articles that contain affiliate links say so.

9. Retention
Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings of our analytics account. Emails are kept only as long as needed to respond and keep a reasonable record of the correspondence, then deleted.
10. International transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States and the Republic of Korea. These providers apply their own safeguards for international transfers.
