Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how readers engage with Paldonix's educational content.

This data is used only to improve the quality and organization of our educational guides.

Google Ads

We participate in Google Ads programs including remarketing, which may display Paldonix content to previous platform visitors as they browse the Google Display Network or use Google Search. Google facilitates these campaigns using the DoubleClick cookie and related technologies.

We also use Google Ads conversion measurement to evaluate which advertising activities result in reader engagement with paldonix.shop. This data is used only to optimize our advertising and not to build individual profiles.
