Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PanKri[](https://pankri.com/), a blog focused on web development, coding tutorials, and tech insights. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you visit our site, interact with content, or view advertisements. We comply with applicable privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EEA/UK users and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)/CalOPPA for California residents. By using our site, you consent to these practices.

2. Use of Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising vendor, to display personalized ads on our site. Google uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the Internet. This enables remarketing (e.g., showing ads for topics you've browsed) and targeted advertising in placements like sidebars, headers, or within content. Ads may be based on your general location, device type, and browsing history. Earnings from ads are generated through views or clicks.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page or managing your Google Account. For more on Google's practices, see their Privacy Policy.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party partners, including Google AdSense and ad networks, use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and similar technologies like web beacons to enhance your experience, analyze site traffic, and serve relevant ads. These include:

• First-party cookies: Set by us for site functionality (e.g., session management).
• Third-party cookies: Set by Google and ad networks for ad personalization, fraud prevention, and avoiding ad repetition. Cookies are placed when you visit pages with ad tags or click ads.

You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings (e.g., Chrome's cookie controls). For broader management, visit Your Online Choices or Internet Cookies. Note: Disabling cookies may limit site features or ad relevance. For EEA/UK users, we use a cookie consent banner to obtain your affirmative consent before placing non-essential cookies.

4. Data Collection

We collect limited information to improve our services:

• Automatically collected (non-personal): Browser type, operating system, IP address, device information, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent, and general location (derived from IP).
• Via AdSense/third parties: Browsing history, search queries, and interaction data for ad personalization.
• Voluntarily provided: Contact details (e.g., email) via forms or messages.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health or financial info). For EEA/UK users, consent is obtained via our cookie banner before processing for ads.

5. Data Sharing

We share non-personal data with Google AdSense and affiliated ad networks to serve and measure ads. This may include device info, IP addresses, and browsing data for targeted advertising and analytics. We do not sell your data. Third parties are contractually obligated to protect it under Google's policies. No sharing occurs without your consent where required by law.

6. Your Rights

You have control over your data:

• Access, Rectify, Erase: Request details or updates to your data.
• Object/Withdraw Consent: Opt out of ad personalization via links above or contact us.
• CCPA Rights (CA residents): Know what data is collected, request deletion, or opt out of sales (none occur here).
• GDPR Rights (EEA/UK): Portability, restriction, or complaint to supervisory authorities.

To exercise rights, email us (see Contact section). We respond within 30 days and retain consent records.

7. Security

We implement reasonable security measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to protect data from unauthorized access or loss. However, no system is fully secure—please use strong passwords and avoid sharing sensitive info.

8. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their policies before interacting.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in practices or laws. We'll notify you via site notice for material updates. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
