2. Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
- Essential Cookies — Necessary for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your theme preference). These cannot be disabled without breaking the site experience.
- Analytics Cookies — Set by Google Analytics to collect anonymized data on how visitors use the site (pages visited, session duration, traffic sources). This helps us improve Xarticl.es.
- Advertising Cookies — Set by Google AdSense and similar networks to show you relevant ads based on your interests. These may track your browsing across other sites.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party services we use — including Google Analytics and Google AdSense — may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. You can learn more about Google's cookie practices at Google's Cookie Policy.
