3. Third-party services

- Facebook / Meta: Our Facebook Page and Messenger are governed by Meta’s Privacy Policy in addition to this one.
- Advertising (future): If we show ads in the future to support the site, ad providers may use cookies to serve relevant ads. We will update this policy when that happens.
