This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website gleamcore.top (the “Site”). Please read this policy carefully.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Device information: Your IP address, operating system, and browser type may be logged automatically for security and analytics purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain the Blog;
• To respond to your inquiries submitted via the contact form;
• To manage and display comments (we may moderate comments before publication);
• To analyze usage trends and improve our content;

3. Cookies – Detailed Information

Our Site uses cookies for essential functions, analytics, and advertising. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

3.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your cookie consent choice).
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site (e.g., Google Analytics). These are anonymized where possible.
• Advertising cookies: Used by third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) to deliver ads that are relevant to you. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites.

3.2 Managing Cookies

4. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense

We display advertisements on gleamcore.top through third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense and possibly other ad providers. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, or device identifiers to:

• Show ads based on your previous visits to our Site or other websites;
• Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns;
• Prevent the same ad from appearing too often.

Personalized advertising: Google and other ad partners may use information such as your browsing history, interests, and demographic data to serve personalized ads. You may see ads that are more relevant to you as a result.

4.1 Opting Out of Personalized Ads

You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from participating networks through the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page (for US users) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (for EU users).

Please note that opting out does not mean you will see fewer ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

4.2 Third-Party Vendors

We use the following third-party advertising services (list may be updated):

• Google AdSense – Google Advertising Privacy Policy
• Other ad networks may be added from time to time. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

5. Comments & Contact Forms

This is a blog, not an online store. We do not process payments, store credit card details, or maintain user accounts for purchases.

• Comments: When you post a comment, your name and comment text are visible to other visitors. Your email address is kept private and used only for moderation and reply notifications (if you opt in). We reserve the right to delete comments that are spam, offensive, or off-topic.
• Contact form: Messages sent via our contact form are used exclusively to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list unless you explicitly request it.

• If required by law, court order, or governmental regulation;
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of gleamcore.top, our users, or others.
