Cookie Policy for rexforge.top

Last updated: July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how rexforge.top (“the Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our blog about carbon reduction. It also describes your choices regarding these technologies. By continuing to browse the Site, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, and display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return or navigate between pages. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by other services we use, such as analytics or advertising partners).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on rexforge.top:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the Site. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, some parts of the Site may not work properly. Essential cookies do not require your prior consent, but we inform you that they are active.

• Examples: Session cookies that maintain your browsing state, anti-CSRF tokens, and load‑balancing cookies.
• Duration: Typically session‑only or a few hours.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (e.g., from Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our carbon reduction content. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized information about page visits, time spent on the Site, and referral sources. This data helps us improve the blog’s relevance and user experience.

• Examples: _ga, _gid, _gat (Google Analytics).
• Duration: Up to 2 years (some expire after 24 hours).

2.3 Advertising Cookies

We use advertising cookies to support the Site via Google AdSense and other third‑party ad partners. These cookies enable us to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests based on your browsing history. They also help measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns and prevent the same ad from appearing too often.

• How they work: Ad partners (including Google) may use cookies to build a profile of your interests and display personalized ads on rexforge.top and across other websites. For example, a cookie may track that you visited a page about “solar energy” and then show you related ads later.
• Examples: IDE (Google DoubleClick), ANID, and other AdSense‑related cookies.
• Duration: Typically 30 days to 13 months, depending on the cookie.

3. How We Use Advertising Cookies (AdSense & Third‑Party Partners)

rexforge.top participates in the Google AdSense program. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site and other websites. This is called “interest‑based advertising.” The information collected may include:

• Pages you have viewed and links you have clicked.
• Your IP address (anonymized where possible) and browser type.
• A unique advertising identifier (e.g., Google’s “NID” or “IDE” cookie).

These cookies allow Google to personalize the ads you see and to measure their performance (e.g., whether you clicked an ad or made a purchase). We do not control which specific ads are shown; that is managed by Google’s ad systems. For more details, please see Google’s Advertising Cookie Policy.

4. How You Can Control Cookies

You have several options to manage or disable cookies:

4.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• Block all cookies (including essential ones) – this may affect site functionality.
• Delete existing cookies from your device.
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed.

Instructions vary by browser. Visit your browser’s help page (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) for step‑by‑step guidance.

4.2 Opt‑Out of Ad Personalization

To opt out of interest‑based advertising from Google and other participating ad networks, you can:

• Visit Google Ad Settings and turn off ad personalization.
• Use the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt‑out page to manage multiple ad partners at once.
• Use the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt‑out tool.

Opting out will not remove ads entirely; you will still see non‑personalized ads based on the context of the page (e.g., a carbon reduction article may show general environmental ads).

5. Third‑Party Cookies

In addition to Google AdSense, we may use other third‑party services (e.g., social media sharing buttons, embedded videos) that set their own cookies. These third parties have their own cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control these cookies.

6. Your Privacy Rights

For more information about how we handle your personal data, including data collected via cookies, please read our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains your rights under applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and how to exercise them.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
