This Privacy Policy explains in plain, readable language exactly what information we collect when you visit technologyblogspot.com, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over your own data. We have written this document to be genuinely understandable — not buried in legal language that no one reads.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help our site function, help us understand how it is used, and allow us to serve relevant advertising. We use four categories of cookies:

Cookies including _ga, _gid, and _ga_* collect anonymised, aggregated data about page views, session behaviour, and traffic sources. Retained for 14 months. Used exclusively to improve our content quality and site structure.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
Google uses cookies including NID, IDE, and ANID to serve contextually relevant and interest-based advertisements. You can opt out of personalised ads at g.co/adsettings.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences between visits — including language, cookie consent choices, and comment form autofill — so you do not need to re-enter them every time.
