This Cookie Policy explains how The Well-Kept Home (“we,” “us,” or “our”) and our advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies on sambilngopi.com (the “site”), and what you can do to control them. For the full picture of how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They let a site or a service remember something about your visit, such as a preference you set or an ad you’ve already seen. Similar technologies, including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, do comparable jobs. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of them.
- First-party cookies are set under this site’s own domain.
- Third-party cookies are set under another company’s domain, such as an advertising partner’s.
- Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
How cookies are used on this site
You don’t need an account to read The Well-Kept Home, and the site itself sets very few cookies. Most of the cookies you’ll come across here are tied to the advertising that keeps the site free to read.
Site features
- Comments. Where commenting is available and you tick the box to save your details, WordPress stores your name, email address, and website in cookies so you don’t have to type them again. These cookies last for about one year.
- Share buttons. The share buttons on our articles are ordinary links, and they don’t set cookies on this site. If you click one, the service you’re taken to, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, X, or Telegram, applies its own cookie and privacy policies.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve and display ads, to personalize ads depending on your settings, to limit how many times you see the same ad, to measure how ads perform, and to detect invalid clicks and fraud.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this site or to other websites.
- Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- Examples include the
IDEandidcookies, which Google sets under its doubleclick.net domain, and the__gadscookie, which is set under this site’s own domain so that Google ads can be shown here. - According to Google, the
IDEandidcookies last 13 months in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom and 24 months everywhere else, and the__gadscookie lasts 13 months.
Google decides which cookies it uses and may change them over time. For current details, see how Google uses cookies and how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand in aggregate how visitors find and use the site. If we do, those tools set cookies such as _ga, which Google says lasts two years and is used to tell one visitor from another.
Your choices
- Consent message. Depending on where you live, you may see a message on your first visit asking how advertising cookies can be used. The choices you make there are applied to the ads you see on this site.
- Turn off personalized ads from Google. Visit Google Ads Settings or My Ad Center.
- Use industry opt-out tools. You can opt out of personalized advertising from many participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative. Visitors in Europe can also use Your Online Choices.
- Opt out of Google Analytics. Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Use your browser settings. Most browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, let you block third-party cookies, delete the cookies already stored, or clear them each time you close the browser. You’ll find these controls in the privacy or security section of your browser’s settings.
Opting out of personalized ads doesn’t remove ads from the site. You’ll still see ads, but they won’t be based on your browsing history. Opt-outs are usually stored in a cookie themselves, so if you clear your cookies or switch browsers or devices, you may need to opt out again. If you block all cookies, some features of the site may not work as expected.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our use of cookies changes or when our partners change theirs. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
