Last Updated: 31.08.2025

This Cookie Policy explains how modiblog.com uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and collect information about your usage of our website.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes:

Analytics: We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with our website. These tools use cookies to collect information such as the pages visited, the time spent on the site, and the source of traffic. This data helps us improve our website’s content and functionality. The information generated by cookies about your use of our website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States or elsewhere. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Website Functionality: Some cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website, such as enabling you to navigate between pages or access secure areas.

Personalization: We may use cookies to remember your preferences and provide you with a more personalized experience, although this is less common on static sites without user accounts.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.

Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily.

[Optional: Targeting/Advertising Cookies]: While we primarily use analytics and strictly necessary cookies, if we were to implement any advertising features beyond Amazon Associates, these might be used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. However, for a typical Amazon affiliate blog with analytics, these are less common.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service and deliver advertisements on and through the Service.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may experience some loss of functionality and convenience in your use of our website.
