Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data Thenvia Blog ("we", "us") collects when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Data we collect

• When you read our posts: our servers keep technical logs (IP address, browser, time of access) to operate the site and protect it from abusive traffic. These logs are kept only for a short time.
• The site has no forms for visitors to submit personal information (such as a name or email address), and you do not need an account to read our posts.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use the following kinds of cookies:

• Essential cookie: the consent cookie remembers your advertising cookie choice for 1 year (only set when you answer the cookie notice).
• Advertising cookies: set by Google and its advertising partners once you give consent (see below).
• YouTube cookies: only after you click play on a video (see "Embedded YouTube videos").

You can delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings.

Google advertising

The site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Regarding these ads:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of other third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
• If you have not given consent or have declined, we tell Google (through Google Consent Mode) not to use cookies for personalized advertising; ads may still be shown in a non-personalized form.
• Learn more about how Google uses data in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and How Google uses cookies in advertising.

Embedded YouTube videos

Videos in our posts are embedded from YouTube (owned by Google). To protect your privacy:

• When a page first loads, we only show the video's thumbnail image (from the i.ytimg.com image server); the YouTube player is not loaded yet.
• Only when you click the play button is the player loaded from youtube-nocookie.com (YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode). From then on, YouTube may set cookies and collect data under the Google Privacy Policy.
• We do not host any videos on our own servers.

Third-party service providers

We share data only with the providers needed to run the site:

• Google (AdSense and YouTube), as described above.
• Cloudflare, which delivers and protects our traffic and may process technical data such as your IP address under the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

Your rights and choices

We do not store any identifying information that you submit to us. You can delete cookies in your browser and manage the data Google collects on Google's Data & privacy page.

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the European Economic Area and the UK, or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at our Contact page.

Children's privacy

The site is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date of the latest update is always shown at the top of this page.
