Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
This Site uses Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to display advertisements.
How Google AdSense Works
Google AdSense uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites across the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
What Data Google Collects
Through AdSense, Google may collect:
- • Cookie identifiers
- • IP address
- • Browser and device information
- • Pages visited and interactions on this Site
- • Your general location (country/region)
This data is processed by Google in accordance with Google's own Privacy Policy.
How to Opt Out
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting:
- • Google Ads Settings: adssettings.google.com
- • Network Advertising Initiative opt-out: optout.networkadvertising.org
- • Your Online Choices (EU users): youronlinechoices.eu
Opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it means the ads you see will not be tailored to your interests.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors use our Site.
Google Analytics collects information such as:
- • How often users visit the Site
- • What pages they visit and for how long
- • What site they came from before arriving
- • General geographic location (country/region)
This information is used to improve our Site's content and user experience. Google Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized — it does not identify you personally.
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics, meaning your full IP address is never stored by Google.

Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, including references to health organizations such as the WHO, NIAAA, and CDC.
These links are provided for your convenience and reference only. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those sites and are not responsible for their privacy policies or practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
Children's Privacy
This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Given the nature of this Site — which provides information about alcohol — we strongly discourage use by minors. The content on this Site is intended for adults of legal drinking age in their respective country or jurisdiction.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete such information.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
