Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide voluntarily, such as your name and email address when you use a contact form or subscribe to updates. We may also collect limited technical information automatically, including browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP address, and interaction data.

Cookies

FireByMike may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember preferences, understand site performance and support future advertising. Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some site functions may then work differently.

Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics or services such as Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and improve the publication. Analytics providers may use cookies or similar identifiers. Where required by law, non-essential analytics will be used only after appropriate consent.

Advertising and Google AdSense

FireByMike may use Google AdSense or other advertising partners in the future. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to serve, measure and personalize ads based on visits to this and other websites, subject to applicable consent requirements.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on a user’s visits. Users may manage personalized advertising through Google’s advertising settings. Additional choices may be available through industry opt-out tools.

Third-Party Cookies

Embedded content, analytics, advertising providers and other third-party services may set their own cookies or collect information under their own privacy policies. FireByMike does not control those third-party technologies. We aim to work with reputable providers and provide consent choices where required.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and other jurisdictions with consent requirements, FireByMike will seek valid consent before using non-essential analytics or advertising cookies when such technologies are enabled. Consent should be freely given, specific, informed and capable of being withdrawn.
