Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
If you use the contact form on this site, we collect the name, email address, and message content you submit. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site automatically collects certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through standard web server logs and through the analytics and advertising services described below.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) to operate correctly, remember your preferences (such as light/dark theme), and to support analytics and advertising. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; most browsers let you refuse cookies or alert you when a cookie is being set, though disabling cookies may affect how parts of this site function.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Set By |
|---|---|---|
| Preference cookies | Remembers your theme (light/dark mode) choice | This site (first-party) |
| Analytics cookies | Measures site traffic and usage patterns | Google Analytics |
| Advertising cookies | Personalizes and measures ads | Google AdSense |
Google AdSense
This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more detail on how Google uses data when you use partner sites or apps, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and general traffic patterns. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Embedded Project Demos
Several pages on this site embed live or simulated demonstrations of software projects (for example, interactive UI demos and embedded previews of externally hosted sites). These demos may load resources from third-party domains or, where noted, run entirely in your browser without transmitting data anywhere. Where a demo is explicitly marked as illustrative or simulated, no real data is sent to any backend service.

Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and are not used for any other purpose. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention settings and is not linked to your personal identity.
Children's Privacy
