We may use the Meta Pixel and Meta's advertising tools on our website to measure the effectiveness of our ads and to show relevant ads to people who have visited our site. The Meta Pixel collects data such as pages visited, actions taken (such as purchases), and your IP address, and sends this information to Meta. This is considered 'sharing' of personal information under California law.

Advertising / tracking cookies (Meta Pixel)
If you have consented, or if you have not opted out, the Meta Pixel may fire when you visit our site and send data to Meta about your visit. This data is used to measure ad performance and to show you relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram. California residents may opt out of this — see Section 6.
To manage your cookie preferences, you can adjust your browser settings or use the opt-out method described in Section 6.
5. Do We Sell Your Data?
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, under California law (CCPA/CPRA), sharing personal information with advertising platforms like Meta for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a 'sale or sharing' of data.
