3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
My website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and support the free nature of my services through advertising.
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and cookie preference settings. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

To keep my fitness tools completely free for all users, I use advertising services like Google AdSense. These cookies are used to:
