Cookie Policy for Titanly.xyz

Welcome to Titanly.xyz, a blog dedicated to containerization technologies including Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native ecosystems. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control your preferences. By continuing to browse Titanly.xyz, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies can be set by the website owner ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services integrated into the site ("third-party cookies").

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on Titanly.xyz:

Essential Cookies

• Purpose: These cookies are strictly necessary for the basic functionality of our blog, such as enabling secure log-in, managing your session, and remembering cookie consent preferences.
• Examples: Session tokens, CSRF tokens, cookie consent status.
• Duration: Mostly session-based (expire when you close your browser) or persistent for up to 12 months for consent preferences.

Analytics Cookies

• Purpose: We use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our content. This helps us improve the blog experience, track popular articles about containerization, and measure site performance.
• Data collected: Anonymized IP address, pages visited, time spent on site, browser type, and device information.
• Duration: Typically persistent for up to 2 years, but data is anonymized.

Advertising Cookies (AdSense)

• Purpose: Titanly.xyz uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service, to display relevant ads. Advertising cookies enable AdSense to personalize the ads you see based on your browsing history and interests. They also measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns and prevent the same ad from appearing too often.
• How it works: Google AdSense uses cookies to build a profile of your interests (e.g., if you read articles about Kubernetes, you might see ads for cloud hosting). These cookies do not directly identify you personally; they use a unique identifier tied to your browser or device.
• Third-party ad partners: In addition to Google, we may work with other third-party ad networks that use cookies for ad targeting and measurement. These partners have their own privacy policies.
• Duration: Persistent, typically up to 13 months, as per Google's policies.

3. How We Use Ad Cookies (AdSense & Third-Party Ads)

Advertising cookies help us keep Titanly.xyz free and provide relevant content to our readers. Specifically, these cookies:

• Personalize ads: Show you advertisements that match your interests based on your browsing behavior across websites.
• Measure ad performance: Track how many times an ad is viewed, clicked, or leads to a conversion (e.g., a sign-up or purchase).
• Frequency capping: Limit the number of times you see the same ad.
• Attribution: Help advertisers understand which channels are most effective.

Google AdSense uses the DoubleClick cookie (or similar identifiers) for these purposes. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our site at Google's Partner Sites Policy.

4. How You Can Control Cookies

You have several options to manage or disable cookies:

Browser Settings

• Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. You can usually find these settings in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser.
• For guidance, visit your browser's help page:
  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

Ad Personalization Opt-Out

• To opt out of personalized advertising from Google AdSense, visit Google's Ad Settings. You can disable interest-based ads or reset your advertising ID.
• For broader control, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.
• Note: Opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads; it means the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.

Cookie Consent Tool
