Our Commitment to Transparency
At academicscholarships.web.id, our mission to make **Sustainable Urban Living Made Simple** is built on trust and transparency. This Cookie Policy is part of that commitment. We want you to have a clear understanding of what cookies are, how we use them to improve your experience on our website, and what your choices are. We believe that being open about our practices is essential for building a strong and lasting community. This page explains our use of cookies in simple, straightforward terms.
What Are Cookies?
Think of cookies as small, simple text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a page. They are like little memory keepers for the website. Their job is to help the site recognize your device the next time you visit, remember your preferences (like language or font size), and generally improve your browsing experience.
Cookies are not viruses or spyware; they cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are completely passive and simply allow for a smoother, more personalized web experience.
How and Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several important reasons, all of which are designed to provide you with the best possible content and experience. We’ve broken them down into categories to make it clear:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to move around the website and use its features. Without them, services you’ve asked for can’t be provided. They don’t gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymous information about how people use our site. For example, we use analytics cookies (like those from Google Analytics) to help us understand which articles are most popular, which topics our community is most interested in, and how users navigate our site. This data is vital for us to improve our content and continue providing valuable information on sustainable urban living. All this information is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, they can be used to remember your text size preferences. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Advertising and Third-Party Cookies
To help support our mission and keep our content free, we use third-party advertising on academicscholarships.web.id, such as Google AdSense. These services use cookies to serve ads that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission.
Your Choices: How to Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by setting or amending your web browser controls. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
