B. Web Analytics
We use standard analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymous telemetry on how users browse the directory. These cookies assign a pseudonymous ID to differentiate unique browser sessions without identifying you personally.
C. Outbound Affiliate Merchants
If you click on an external product recommendation, book reference, or coaching link, the destination merchant network may drop a session or tracking cookie to register that our directory referred you. These cookies are governed by the respective merchant’s privacy policy.
