In short: You never need to give us any data to read this site. Our tools run inside your browser. We show Google AdSense ads and load analytics only after you consent; Google may use cookies to serve ads. If you create a business directory account, we store only your account and listing details.

Advertising (Google AdSense)
We show ads served by Google AdSense to keep the site free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of some other vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
- Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
An ad is not an endorsement. We do not control ad content, and we do not accept ads for services that charge to "register" you in free government programs.
Analytics (Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity)
Analytics tools load only if you click "Accept" in the cookie banner. They collect aggregated usage data such as pages visited and device type, with IP anonymization. If you click "Decline", they do not load. To change your choice, clear this site's data in your browser and the banner will appear again.
Cookies we use
| Type | Purpose | Needs your consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential (directory sign-in, Cloudflare security) | Running the site | No |
| Preferences (your banner choice, tool data in local storage) | Remembering your choices | No |
| Analytics (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) | Usage statistics | Yes |
| Advertising (Google AdSense and partners) | Serving and measuring ads | Managed through Google settings and your local law |
Who sees the data
We do not sell your data. Only the services that run the site process it: our hosting provider, Cloudflare (security and speed), Google (ads and analytics), Microsoft (Clarity) and Google Fonts. We may disclose data if the law requires it.

- Request a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion.
