At DummyTicketOnline, we believe in being upfront about how our website works. This Cookie Policy explains what "cookies" are, how we use them, and how you can control them. We have kept the legal jargon to a minimum because your time is valuable.
1. What Are Cookies?
Think of cookies like a digital "memory" for a website. They are tiny text files that are stored on your computer or phone when you visit a website.
They don't spy on you or steal your personal information. Instead, they help the website remember things like:
- "Did this person already close the pop-up notification?"
- "Is this person logged in?"
- "What language does this person prefer?"
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three main reasons:
A. Essential Functionality
Some cookies are necessary for the website to work. For example, if you leave a comment on one of our articles, a cookie remembers your name and email so you don't have to type it again next time. Without these, the site might feel "broken" or annoying to use.
B. Analytics (Understanding Our Audience)
We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how people use our site. These cookies tell us things like:
- Which articles are the most popular?
- Are people reading on mobile phones or laptops?
- Which countries are our readers visiting from?
All of this data is anonymous. We cannot identify you personally from it.
C. Advertising (Google AdSense)
This is the most important part for you to know. To keep DummyTicketOnline free for everyone to read, we show advertisements provided by Google AdSense.
Google uses specific cookies (like the DoubleClick cookie) to show you ads that are relevant to you.
- How it works: If you were recently searching for "Travel Insurance" on Google, AdSense might show you an ad for travel insurance on our site. This is called "Personalized Advertising."
- We do not control these cookies; they are managed by Google.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. These third parties may set their own cookies.
For example, if we embed a YouTube video in an article, YouTube may set a cookie on your device.
4. Your Choices (How to Turn Off Cookies)
You are in control. If you do not want cookies stored on your device, you have several options:
Option A: Disable Personalized Ads
You can tell Google not to use your data for personalized advertising. You can do this by visiting the Google Ad Settings page.
Option B: Browser Settings
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service (like the comment section convenience features).
5. Changes to This 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 re-visit this page to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
