Information We Collect

We do not require account registration or collect personal information directly. However, we may collect:

• Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes anonymized data about page views, device types, and geographic regions. You can opt out via our cookie consent banner.
• Cookies: We use essential cookies for site functionality and optional analytics cookies (Google Analytics). We do not use advertising cookies. You can accept or decline analytics cookies via our cookie consent banner.
• Local Storage: We store your cookie consent preference locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.

Affiliate Links

Some pages on this site contain affiliate links to online therapy platforms (such as BetterHelp). If you click on one of these links and sign up for a service, we may receive a referral commission at no extra cost to you. This is one of the ways we keep this resource free. We only recommend services we believe may genuinely help our readers.

When you click an affiliate link and visit a third-party service such as BetterHelp, that service's own privacy policy governs how they collect and use your data. We encourage you to review BetterHelp's Privacy Policy before signing up for their services.

Our site does not ask you to input health conditions, diagnoses, or treatment information. The articles you read on our site are not tracked in a way that creates a health profile about you.

Any information collected is used solely to:

• Improve our website content and user experience
• Understand which articles and resources are most helpful
• Maintain and operate the website

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Analytics data is processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
