Third‑party services
We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregate site usage statistics (pageviews, traffic sources, conversion events on contact and report forms). GA4 is paired with our Google Ad Grant — see /support for the full acknowledgement. We do not sell or share analytics data with advertisers; data is used internally to understand reach and improve the public archive.
We may also use trusted vendors for hosting, logging, and email. See /legal/privacy for data uses and sharing. Vendor policies govern their own cookies.
