This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on borealy.xyz (the “Site”), and how you can control them. Our Site is an English-language blog focused on infrastructure topics. 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 placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to site owners. Cookies can be “session” (temporary, deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (remain until you delete them or they expire).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on borealy.xyz:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, security, and access to certain areas. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate correctly. Examples include cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences.

• Purpose: Core site functionality, security, and compliance.
• Duration: Typically session-based or persistent (e.g., consent cookie).
• Opt-out: Not possible without disabling core features.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Site. This helps us improve content, measure traffic, and identify popular infrastructure topics. We may use services such as Google Analytics or similar tools.

• Purpose: Collect anonymized data about page visits, referral sources, and browsing behavior.
• Data collected: IP address (anonymized), browser type, pages visited, time on site.
• Opt-out: You can disable these via browser settings or use opt-out tools (see Section 4).

2.3 Advertising Cookies

We partner with third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense, to display relevant advertisements on borealy.xyz. These cookies enable ad personalization, measure ad performance, and limit how often you see the same ad. They may track your visits across different websites to build a profile of your interests.

• Purpose: Serve interest-based ads, track ad conversions, and prevent repeated ads.
• Third-party partners: Google AdSense and other ad networks may place cookies on your device.
• Data collected: Unique device identifier, browsing history, interaction with ads, geographic location (approximate).
• Opt-out: You can control ad personalization via Google’s Ads Settings or by disabling cookies in your browser.

3. How We Use Advertising Cookies (AdSense)

Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to our Site and other websites. This process is called “remarketing” or “interest-based advertising.” For example, if you read an article about cloud infrastructure, you might later see ads for cloud services. These cookies also help measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns by tracking clicks and conversions.
