1. Scope

This policy covers cookies, localStorage, and similar browser storage technologies. CookPagoda may use these technologies for sign-in and security, user-selected language and theme preferences, and advertising delivery and measurement as described below.

2. Strictly necessary storage

• Authentication cookies such as Authorization may be used to maintain a secure session or authentication state.
• Temporary security state may be used where necessary for authentication flows, request integrity, or service security.

3. Preference storage

• Language: remembers your interface language.
• Theme: remembers display choices such as light/dark or visual theme settings.

4. Advertising and analytics

When advertisements are displayed on the Services, Google AdSense and other advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure advertising. These technologies may be used for ad frequency management, invalid-traffic prevention, advertising effectiveness measurement, and, where the user has consented, interest-based advertising.

Third-party advertising providers, including Google, may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on a user's visits to CookPagoda or other websites. Users may control personalized advertising where available through the consent and advertising settings provided by the Services and through advertising controls offered by the relevant advertising provider.

Where applicable law requires prior consent for non-essential storage or advertising personalization, we apply the applicable consent-management process before using storage for those purposes.

5. Your controls

You can delete or block cookies and site storage in your browser. Where advertising or cookie consent settings are provided by the Services, you can also use those settings to change your choices regarding non-essential storage or advertising personalization. Blocking necessary authentication storage can prevent sign-in or other features from working. Removing language or theme storage may reset those preferences.
