Cookie Policy for GigaCorex

Last updated: July 2026

GigaCorex (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website gigacorex.com (the “Site”), an English-language blog dedicated to Cultural Sociology. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types we use, how we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

By continuing to browse or use our Site, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please disable cookies as outlined in Section 4 or stop using the Site.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you return or browse from one page to another. Cookies may be set by the website owner (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services integrated into the site (“third-party cookies”).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on GigaCorex:

  • Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies: These cookies are required for the basic functioning of the Site. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate properly. Examples include session cookies that maintain your login state (if applicable) and cookies that remember your cookie consent choice. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our blog. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized information such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, traffic sources, and time spent on the Site. This data helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally.
  • Advertising Cookies: We partner with third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense, to display relevant advertisements on our Site. Advertising cookies (also called “targeting” or “marketing” cookies) track your browsing habits across websites to build a profile of your interests. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to our Site and other websites, to measure ad performance, and to prevent the same ad from appearing too often. These cookies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and pages visited. For more details, please see Google’s Privacy & Terms at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

3. How Ad Cookies Personalize and Measure Ads

Advertising cookies from Google AdSense and other third-party ad partners allow us to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests. For example, if you have previously read articles about cultural sociology, you may see ads related to academic books, conferences, or related services. These cookies also help advertisers measure the effectiveness of their campaigns by tracking how many users clicked on an ad and whether they took a desired action (e.g., signing up for a newsletter). The data collected is anonymous and does not include your name, email, or direct identifiers.

4. How You Can Control Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your preferences in the following ways:

  • Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies entirely, or configure your browser to alert you when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. Instructions for popular browsers:
  • Ad Personalization Opt-Out: To opt out of personalized advertising from Google and other participating ad networks, visit the Your Online Choices page (EU-based) or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page (US-based). You can also manage your Google ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com/.
  • Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our Site, a cookie consent banner will appear. You can click “Accept All” to consent to all cookies, or “Reject All” to accept only essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our Site.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Links

Our Site may contain links to external websites (e.g., academic sources, partner blogs). We are not responsible for the cookie practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their cookie policies before providing any personal data.
