GPDR

 MY PRIVACY POLICY

I do not use cookies to remember your account settings, nor for analytics. Only default ad partners, like Google and Mozilla, may use cookies on Google Adsense ads and Mozilla on Pocket Explore pages, and if you accept these advertising cookies, your ads may be more personalized on other websites. They will also have their Policies displayed in case you go to their linked site.

Your Choice Regarding Google Adsense

As you are aware, Google AdSense is a programme run by Google through which website publishers in the Google Network of content sites serve text, images, video, or interactive media advertisements that are targeted to the site content and audience. These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google.

Mozilla Pocket Website Cookies FAQ

What cookies are used on the Pocket website?

The Pocket website utilizes three categories of cookies:

         Necessary Cookies

My ad partners may use them to display ads and measure impressions and clicks. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but this may cause parts of the site to not work properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and unless Targeting Cookies are enabled, ads are non-personalized.

2.           Analytics Cookies

I use Google Analytics and other tools to understand which webpages are popular. My partners may also place these cookies on your device to remember your account preferences and language settings.

3.             Targeting Cookies

Some Pocket web pages have ads. If you choose, Pocket’s ad partners will place targeting cookies on your device to personalize the ads you see here and on other websites.

If you play a YouTube video on Pocket, YouTube may place cookies on your device which can be used for personalization.

I'm certain you want to know why Pockets ask you to confirm your choice regarding cookies when you are visiting the site. The answer is posted infra.

Pocket uses cookies to perform actions such as remembering your login information, language preferences, measuring site performance, and other functionality. Some of Pocket’s ad partners use cookies on Pocket Discover pages to measure ad impressions and clicks.

If you choose to allow targeting cookies, those ad partners will also place targeting cookies on your device to personalize the ads you see on Pocket and on other websites. And, if you play YouTube videos on Pocket and choose to allow targeting cookies on your device, YouTube may place cookies on your device which can be used for personalization. If you do not consent to targeting cookies, ads will not be personalized.

By default, Pocket sets necessary and analytics cookies, and disables targeting cookies until you consent to them. You always have the choice to allow or disallow analytics and targeting cookies on Pocket from the Cookie Preferences tool. To access the Cookie Preferences tool, click the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer on Pocket’s website:
