Last Updated: June 7, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how KuyaOvlak.com (“we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at KuyaOvlak.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, including for advertising purposes through services like Google AdSense, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to help personalize content and ads.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, KuyaOvlak.com) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. We also use cookies for advertising purposes. Specifically:

• To understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
• To compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future (e.g., through Google Analytics).
• To ensure the security and proper functioning of our website.
• For Advertising: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Website. Google AdSense, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Site. These cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet. This may include cookies for personalized advertising (showing ads based on your interests) and non-personalized advertising (which still use cookies for purposes like frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and to combat fraud and abuse).

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

• Essential Website Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
• Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
• Analytics and Customization Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you (e.g., Google Analytics cookies).
• Advertising Cookies (including Google AdSense): These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases, selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
  • Google AdSense Cookies: Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to help serve the ads it displays on our Website. When you visit our Website and either view or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped on your browser. The data gathered from these cookies will be used to help AdSense publishers better serve and manage the ads on their site(s) and across the web.
• Other third-party vendors or ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on our Site.
• Social Media Cookies: These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our Site or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking website such as Facebook, Twitter, or others. The social network will record that you have done this.

(Note: This list may need further updates based on other specific cookies or third-party ad vendors you might use in conjunction with AdSense.)

4. How Can You Control Cookies and Advertising Preferences?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies and to manage your advertising preferences.

• Browser Controls: Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
• Opting Out of Personalized Advertising (Google AdSense and other vendors):
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by Google by visiting Google’s Ads Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
  • Alternatively, you can direct users to opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page at www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
  • For users in the European Union, you can also visit www.youronlinechoices.com/ to manage preferences for online advertising.
• Google Analytics Opt-out: To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript not to send any information about website visits to Google Analytics.

Please note that opting out of personalized advertising doesn’t mean you’ll no longer see ads, but rather that the ads you see won’t be tailored to your interests.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, we will rely on a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to obtain your consent for cookies used for advertising and other non-essential purposes, in line with Google’s EU User Consent Policy and applicable regulations like GDPR. The CMP will provide you with granular choices regarding your consent.
