It also explains your rights to control those cookies. By continuing to browse ioniforge.top, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back or browse from one page to another.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by services we use, such as analytics or advertising partners). They can be temporary (session cookies) or persistent (remaining on your device until you delete them or they expire).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on ioniforge.top:
2.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies
These cookies are required for the basic functioning of our blog. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or remembering your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, some services cannot be provided.
- Examples: Session cookies, load-balancing cookies, and consent management cookies.
- Purpose: To keep the site secure and operational.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with ioniforge.top. This helps us improve the content and user experience of our skill-building hobby articles. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized information such as page visits, time spent on site, and traffic sources.

- Purpose: To measure and analyze site performance and audience engagement.
2.3 Advertising Cookies
We partner with third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense, to display relevant advertisements on our blog. Advertising cookies (also called “targeting” or “marketing” cookies) are used to build a profile of your interests and show you ads that are more relevant to you. They also limit the number of times you see an ad and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

- Purpose: To personalize ads, track conversions, and prevent the same ad from appearing too often.
These cookies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit on our site and other websites. The data is processed by Google and other ad partners in accordance with their own privacy policies.
3. How to Control Cookies
You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the consent management tool we provide on your first visit (and afterward via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer).
