We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand:

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 on our forms to protect against spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA works in the background to verify that interactions are from real humans rather than automated bots.

reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information, such as device and application data, and sends it to Google for analysis. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We use Hotjar to understand how visitors interact with our website. Hotjar helps us see where users click, scroll, and navigate, allowing us to improve the user experience.

Datadog

We use Datadog Real User Monitoring (RUM) to monitor website performance and identify technical issues. This helps us ensure a fast and reliable experience for our visitors.

Datadog collects performance metrics such as page load times, browser errors, and session data. User input fields are masked by default to protect privacy.
