2. Quick Summary
| Where you are | What we collect | Do we set cookies? | Purpose |

3. Details on Information We Collect
Technical Data – IP address (anonymized where required), user-agent string, referring URL.
Session ID – a short-lived identifier (often in the ad request URL or in a POST body) that expires when you close your browser.
Interaction Events – ad impressions, clicks, and purchase confirmations sent by our servers or client-side scripts.

Fraud Prevention – detect invalid clicks or automated traffic.
Accounting – reconcile affiliate commissions and ad-network payments.

Legitimate interests (ad performance measurement, fraud mitigation).
Contract (fulfilling agreements with ad networks and merchants).
No sensitive personal data is processed and we conduct balancing tests to respect your rights.
6. Sharing & Disclosure
We share data only with:
Ad Networks / Affiliate Platforms (e.g., Google AdSense, Amazon Associates) to credit conversions or impressions.
