Google Analytics 4. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on each page.

These parameters are submitted alongside your contact form data if you fill out the form during that visit.

Local Storage. We store your light/dark theme preference in your browser's local storage so that your display preference persists between visits. This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to us.

Third-Party Fonts

We load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser requests these fonts, Google may collect your IP address and browser information. See Google Fonts Privacy for details.
