What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).

Types of Cookies I Use

I use the following categories of cookies on the Site:

1. Analytics Cookies

These cookies help me understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. I use Google Analytics to analyze traffic patterns, page views, and user behavior. Google Analytics cookies include:

These cookies do not collect personal information such as names or email addresses. Data collected is aggregated and anonymized.

2. Advertising Cookies

I use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Advertising cookies help deliver ads that are relevant to you and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. Google AdSense cookies include:

_gcl_au: Used by Google AdSense for experimenting with advertisement efficiency across websites. It expires after 3 months.

3. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by me or by third-party providers whose services I have added to the Site. For example, functional cookies may remember your preferences (such as language or region) to improve your browsing experience. These cookies do not track your activity on other websites.
