Cookies, Analytics and Advertising
We may use cookies or similar technologies for security, preferences, analytics, consent management, and advertising. Google Analytics may help us understand how visitors use the site. If Google AdSense is enabled, Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies to serve and measure ads.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s previous visits to this or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve personalised ads. You can manage personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings. You may also review industry opt-out choices at AboutAds.
Consent for Visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland
Where required, a Google-certified consent management platform will ask for permission before advertising cookies or similar technologies are used. You can accept, reject, or manage available choices and later revisit your cookie preferences through the site’s consent controls.
How We Use Information

Sharing and Service Providers
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that help operate the website, including our hosting provider, Google Site Kit, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, email delivery services, security tools, and consent-management services. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
Retention and Security
We keep contact messages and technical records only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain security, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, but we use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Contact opencadfiles@gmail.com and describe your request. We may need to verify that the request relates to you.
