Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how titanly.xyz (the "Blog," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website and interact with its features. We are committed to respecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant US privacy frameworks.

titanly.xyz is a blog dedicated to publishing articles about containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, orchestration, cloud-native tools). We do not sell physical goods, process payments, or maintain shopping carts. This policy covers all visitors, commenters, and individuals who contact us.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact form submissions: When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments: When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name (or pseudonym), email address, and the comment text. Your name and comment are publicly visible; your email is kept private and used only for moderation or follow-up notifications if you opt in.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Log data & device information: Our servers and analytics services automatically record certain information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date/time of each request.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyse traffic, and serve advertisements. For details, see Section 4 below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Blog and its content.
• To respond to your comments, questions, and contact form submissions.
• To monitor and analyse usage trends and preferences (via analytics).
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse.
• To display advertisements (including personalised ads) through third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

3. Comments & Contact Forms

titanly.xyz encourages respectful discussion. When you post a comment, your name and comment appear publicly. Your email address is never displayed and is used only for moderation and (if you choose) subscription to follow-up comments. We may use a third-party comment system (e.g., Disqus or a native WordPress system) that stores your data according to its own privacy policy. Contact form submissions are kept confidential and used only for correspondence. We do not sell or share this information for marketing purposes.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use cookies for the following:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., comment session management).
• Analytics cookies: To understand how visitors use the site (e.g., Google Analytics). These help us improve content.
• Advertising cookies: Used by third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense, to deliver relevant ads, limit ad frequency, and measure ad performance. These cookies may track your browsing across different websites.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

5. Third-Party Advertising & Personalized Ads

Google and its partners use advertising cookies to:

• Show you ads that are more relevant to your interests.
• Limit the number of times you see a particular ad.
• Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

You have choices regarding personalized ads:

• Google Ads Settings: Visit adssettings.google.com to opt out of Google’s use of cookies for personalized advertising.
• Industry opt-out: Visit optout.aboutads.info (Digital Advertising Alliance) to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
• Your choices: You can also adjust your browser’s cookie settings or use browser extensions that block tracking. Opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads — it means the ads you see may be less relevant to you.

We do not control the cookies used by third-party advertisers. Please review Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and the policies of any other ad networks we may use for more details.

6. Analytics

We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect aggregated data about site traffic and user behaviour. These services use cookies and similar technologies. The information generated (including your truncated IP address) is transmitted to and stored by the analytics provider. We use this data to understand which articles are most popular, how users navigate the site, and to improve our content. You can learn more about Google Analytics’ data practices and opt-out options at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

7. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: With trusted third parties who help us operate the website (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery, comment moderation). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
• Ad networks: As described in Section 5, ad networks may collect data via cookies for advertising purposes.
• Legal compliance: If required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Comment data is retained indefinitely unless you request deletion. Analytics data is retained for a period of 26 months. Contact form submissions are retained for up to one year after the last correspondence. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time (see Section 10).
