Cookie Policy for Vectify.top

Last updated: June 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back or browse from one page to another. Cookies can also be used to measure how you interact with content and to serve relevant advertising.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

At Vectify.top, we use cookies to improve your experience, analyse traffic, and support our free content through advertising. We classify them into three categories:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our blog. They enable core features like page navigation, secure access, and load balancing. Without these cookies, some parts of the site (such as comment forms or search) may not work properly. Essential cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.

• Examples: Session cookies, CSRF tokens, load balancer cookies.
• Duration: Mostly session-based (expire when you close your browser).

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (e.g., from Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our Access Control articles. This helps us improve content quality, navigation, and reader experience. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data such as page views, time on site, and referral sources.

• Examples: _ga, _gid, _gat (Google Analytics).
• Duration: Up to 2 years (you can reset via browser settings).

2.3 Advertising Cookies (including Google AdSense)

We partner with Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks to display relevant advertisements on Vectify.top. Advertising cookies (also called "targeting" or "marketing" cookies) are used to:

• Personalise ads based on your browsing history and interests (e.g., showing you ads about security systems or access control solutions).
• Measure ad performance – track how many times an ad is viewed, clicked, or leads to a conversion.
• Limit frequency – prevent the same ad from appearing too often.

These cookies may collect data such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and pages visited. Google AdSense uses the DoubleClick cookie (e.g., IDE, test_cookie) to serve interest-based ads. For more details, see Google’s Advertising Technologies.

3. How to Control Cookies

You have several ways to manage or disable cookies:

3.1 Browser Settings

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

• Block all cookies (including essential ones – this may break site functionality).
• Delete existing cookies.
• Set preferences for specific websites.

Instructions for popular browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

3.2 Ad Personalisation Opt-Out

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

• Google Ad Settings – manage or disable personalised ads.
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out – for multiple ad partners.
• Your Online Choices (EU) – for European visitors.

Please note: opting out of personalised ads does not stop ads from appearing; they will simply be less relevant (contextual ads based on the page content).

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on Vectify.top are placed by trusted third parties, including:

• Google AdSense – for ad personalisation and measurement.
• Google Analytics – for audience analysis (anonymised).
• Social media platforms (if you share articles) – may set cookies via share buttons.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review their respective privacy policies for more information.

5. Your Privacy Rights

For complete details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy. That policy covers topics such as data retention, your rights under GDPR/CCPA, and how to exercise them.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our advertising partnerships. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
