3. Cookies

Civil Knowledge may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help websites remember information, operate correctly, understand how visitors use a website, and provide relevant functionality.

Because Civil Knowledge is hosted on Blogger, Google may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with Blogger and other Google services.

Google states that Blogger may use cookies and that Google services such as Analytics and AdSense can also use cookies depending on the services enabled on a blog.

Cookies may be used for purposes including:

• Website functionality

• Security

• Performance

• Traffic measurement

• Understanding visitor behavior

• Advertising and advertising measurement, where applicable

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

4. Google Blogger

Civil Knowledge is hosted using Blogger, a service provided by Google.

Google may process certain technical information when visitors access websites hosted on Blogger. The availability and use of particular cookies or technologies may depend on Blogger's configuration and the features enabled on the website.

For more information about Google's privacy practices, visitors should review Google's applicable privacy documentation.

5. Google Analytics

If Google Analytics is enabled on Civil Knowledge, we may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Pages viewed

• Approximate location

• Device information

• Browser information

• Traffic sources

• General usage patterns

• Interaction and performance information

The information is used to understand website traffic, identify popular content, improve website performance, and improve the overall user experience.

If Google Analytics is not enabled on the Website, this section does not apply.

6. Advertising and Google AdSense

Civil Knowledge may display advertisements through Google AdSense or other advertising partners.

If advertising services are used, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies to serve, measure, personalize, or otherwise support advertising.

Google's publisher policies require websites using Google products to disclose relevant data collection and the use of technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and IP addresses.

Google also states that advertising cookies can be used to help serve ads based on a user's previous visits to websites or other websites.

The advertisements displayed on Civil Knowledge may therefore be based on factors such as the content of the page, contextual information, or, where permitted and applicable, previous browsing activity.

If you do not use AdSense or other advertising services, this section may not apply until such services are enabled.

7. Personalized Advertising

Where applicable, Google and its advertising partners may use information associated with cookies or similar technologies for personalized advertising, subject to applicable policies and user choices.

Google provides users with controls for managing advertising personalization through its advertising settings.

Users may choose to manage their advertising preferences through Google's available privacy and advertising controls.

For users in regions where consent is legally required, applicable consent mechanisms may be presented before certain advertising technologies are used.

Google's current publisher policies require publishers to comply with applicable consent requirements, including Google's EU User Consent Policy where applicable.

8. Third-Party Websites and Links

Civil Knowledge may contain links to external websites, services, resources, or platforms operated by third parties.

These websites have their own privacy policies and terms of service.
