Cookie Policy
**Last updated:** {{DATE}}
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how this website (the “Site”) uses them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites work properly, improve user experience, and provide information to site owners.
How we use cookies
This Site is a simple WordPress blog and uses cookies for purposes such as:
- **Essential site functions** (e.g., security, basic site operation)
- **Preferences** (e.g., remembering settings where applicable)
- **Analytics** (e.g., understanding how visitors use the Site)
- **Embedded content** (e.g., videos or social media embeds that may set cookies)
Types of cookies we may use
1) Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in (if enabled), or filling in forms.
2) Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site (for example, which pages are visited most often). We use this information to improve the Site.
If we use an analytics service (such as Google Analytics), it may set cookies to collect information such as your IP address (which may be truncated/anonymized depending on configuration), device information, and browsing behavior on this Site.
3) Functionality cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language or region, if applicable) and provide enhanced features.
4) Embedded content and third‑party cookies
Posts on this Site may include embedded content (for example, YouTube videos, Instagram posts, or other external content). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website.
These third-party websites may set cookies, use additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
WordPress-specific cookies
Depending on how the Site is configured, WordPress may set cookies such as:
- **Comment cookies**: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These typically last for about one year.
- **Login cookies** (if accounts are enabled): If you log in, WordPress sets cookies to keep you logged in and to store your screen display preferences.
Managing cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies through your browser settings. You can also set your browser to block cookies or to alert you when cookies are being set.
Please note that if you disable or block certain cookies, parts of the Site may not function properly.
