This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types we use, and how you can manage your preferences — including for advertising purposes.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return or navigate from one page to another. Cookies also enable website owners to understand how visitors interact with their content, improve user experience, and deliver relevant advertising.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

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

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the basic functioning of the Site. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate properly. Examples include session cookies that keep you logged in or remember your cookie consent choice.

• Purpose: Enable basic site functionality and security.
• Duration: Session-based or persistent (typically up to 12 months for consent preferences).
• Opt-out: Not possible without disabling the Site.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect aggregated, anonymized data about how visitors use Gleamly.top. This helps us understand which articles are most popular, how users navigate the blog, and where improvements can be made. These cookies do not identify you personally.

• Purpose: Track page visits, time on site, and referral sources to improve content.
• Duration: Persistent (up to 2 years for Google Analytics).
• Opt-out: You can disable analytics cookies via browser settings or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

2.3 Advertising Cookies

Gleamly.top displays advertisements to support our free travel content. We work with third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to serve ads that may be relevant to your interests. These partners use cookies to:

• Build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity across websites.
• Show you personalized ads (e.g., travel deals, hotel offers) that are more useful to you.
• Measure the performance of ad campaigns (e.g., clicks, conversions).

These cookies may track your visits to Gleamly.top and other sites. The data collected is anonymous to us but may be linked to your device by our ad partners. For more details, see Google’s Advertising Cookies page.

3. How to Control and Delete Cookies

You have the right to choose whether to accept cookies. Below are the main ways you can manage cookie settings:

3.1 Browser Settings

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

• Block all cookies (including essential ones, which may break the Site).
• Delete existing cookies from your device.
• Set preferences for specific websites.

To learn how, visit your browser’s help section (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

3.2 Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising

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

• Visit the Google Ads Settings page and turn off ad personalization.
• Use the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out tool (for US visitors) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) tool (for EU visitors).
• Adjust your device’s advertising identifier settings (iOS: Settings > Privacy > Tracking; Android: Settings > Google > Ads).

Note: Opting out of personalized ads does not stop ads from appearing; it simply means the ads you see will be less relevant (e.g., generic travel ads rather than ones tailored to your interests).

4. Third-Party Cookies and Ad Partners

In addition to Google AdSense, we may work with other third-party ad networks or analytics providers (e.g., Mediavine, Amazon Associates). These partners may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies — please refer to their respective privacy policies for details. We encourage you to review the Google Privacy Policy for information on how Google uses data when you use our Site.

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
