4. Facebook / Meta Integration

If this site displays embedded Facebook content, Meta may set its own cookies per their own policies. See Meta’s Privacy Policy.
5. Third-Party Services
We use web hosting, analytics, and CDN services to operate this site. Each has its own privacy policy. We do not allow any third party to use your data for their own advertising through this site.
