You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.

I do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes, and no personally identifiable information (such as your name or email) is collected through cookies.

I do not share this information with third parties.

All payments are processed securely through Stripe or PayPal. I do not collect, store, or have access to your payment details.
