Cookie Policy
Advertising, analytics & cookies
This site is operated by Takenick Innovation and is monetised with Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-6107920752857014). We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for aggregate usage analytics, and may use Google Ads and Meta (Facebook / Instagram) advertising and measurement pixels. Under Google Consent Mode v2, advertising and analytics storage are denied by default for visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland until consent is granted through Google or AdSense consent messaging; for visitors in other regions, these services may initialise under the site's default consent configuration. They may set cookies and process limited data such as your IP address and device or browser details to measure and personalise advertising. You can change your choice at any time using the controls provided by the Google AdSense Privacy & Messaging consent message, where available. Where Advanced Consent Mode is enabled, Google tags may still transmit limited cookieless consent and measurement signals while advertising and analytics storage remain denied; storage and personalisation follow your consent choice, so this does not guarantee that nothing reaches Google before you consent. Ad slots are placed automatically by Google AdSense Auto ads (manual ad units are no longer used), and consent in regions that require it is handled by Google's certified Consent Management Platform (IAB TCF), not a custom cookie banner. When Cloudflare's Google tag gateway is enabled, Google tags may be delivered through this site's domain and Cloudflare handles those tag-delivery requests. Google remains the analytics and advertising service provider and processes data under its applicable terms.

2.4 Advertising and marketing cookies
We use Google AdSense and may use Google Ads and Meta ads tools for traffic and measurement. These cookies, click IDs, and pixels may be used to show ads, measure ad performance, detect invalid activity, remember ad preferences, cap frequency, attribute conversions, and where allowed, personalize ads or build remarketing audiences. Meta cookies below apply only if Meta business tools/pixels are enabled or if Meta sets identifiers through an ad click flow.

/ 03Personalized and non-personalized ads
Google and other advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Personalized ads may use past browsing or interest signals where permitted. Non-personalized ads may still use cookies or identifiers for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, fraud prevention, and ad delivery.
Where required by law, consent may be requested through Google AdSense Privacy & Messaging before cookies or identifiers are used for ad personalization, remarketing, or analytics. If you reject optional cookies, some ads may still appear, but they should be less personalized where our consent tools support that choice.
/ 04Third-party cookies
Third parties may set cookies or collect data when their scripts, ads, pixels, libraries, model files, or fallback resources load on our pages. These providers may include Google, Meta, Cloudflare, consent-management providers, model hosts, and open-source asset CDNs. Brand fonts are served locally from our own assets directory. Third-party use of data is governed by their own policies.
/ 05How to control cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Use the controls presented by the Google AdSense consent message, where available.
- Change browser cookie settings to block or delete cookies.
- Clear localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB from your browser’s site settings.
- Use Google and Meta ad preference tools to manage personalized ads.
- Use browser extensions or privacy tools, understanding that they may break some features.

/ 06Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. There is no universal technical standard that requires websites to respond to it in a specific way. We use our consent controls, browser settings, and third-party opt-out tools as the main ways to manage tracking choices.
/ 07Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our tools, ads, analytics, or service providers change. The latest revision date will be shown at the top of this page.
