5. Cookies and Analytics

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website traffic, and improve the visitor experience.

7. Embedded Content and External Websites

The Site may include embedded content or links to websites operated by third parties, including video services, booksellers, social media platforms, or other external websites.
