For more details, see the “Cookies & Tracking Technologies” section below.
2. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. nextlyx.top uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential / functional cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your comment information so you don’t re-enter it).
- Analytics cookies: We use a web analytics service (such as Google Analytics) to collect aggregated data about how visitors interact with our blog. This includes pages visited, time spent, and traffic sources. These cookies help us improve our content and user experience.
- Advertising cookies: Third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) may place cookies or use device identifiers to build a profile of your interests and show you personalized ads on our site and across the web. These cookies track your browsing activity across different websites.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website. For more information about cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.
3. Third-Party Advertising (including Google AdSense)
nextlyx.top may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These ad networks use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your previous visits to our site and other websites on the internet. This enables them to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests (personalized ads).
How ads use cookies / device identifiers
- Ad networks may use a cookie or a device identifier (e.g., IDFA, Advertising ID) to recognize your browser or device.
- Information such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and the time of your visit may be collected and used to select the ads you see.
- This data is processed by the ad network under their own privacy policies. We do not have direct control over the cookies placed by third-party ad servers.
Opt-out options for personalized ads
- Google Ads Settings: You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting adssettings.google.com.
- AboutAds.info / YourAdChoices: To opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer choice page at optout.aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.com (EU).
- Even if you opt out of personalized ads, you may still see non-personalized ads based on the context of the page (e.g., ads related to Krav Maga or self-defense).
Please note that opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads – it means the ads you see will not be tailored to your interests based on cross-site tracking.
4. Analytics
We use web analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect and analyze anonymous usage data. These services use cookies to help us understand how visitors engage with our blog. The data collected includes pages visited, time on site, browser type, and geographic location (at city/country level). We use this information to improve our content and user experience.
