Cookie Policy for Funcorexy

Last updated: July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Funcorexy (“we,” “our,” or “the Blog”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit funcorexy.com. This policy is part of our commitment to transparency and compliance with applicable privacy laws, including the requirements for Google AdSense.

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 language, display settings, and login state) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return. Cookies can 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 Funcorexy to ensure the site works properly, to understand how readers interact with our Strength Training content, and to support our free content through advertising.

2.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the basic functionality of the blog. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly.

• Purpose: Session management, security, and technical stability.
• Examples: Session tokens, CSRF tokens, load balancer cookies.
• Duration: Usually session-based (deleted when you close your browser).

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our blog. This data helps us improve the content and user experience for our Strength Training audience.

• Purpose: Count page visits, track popular articles, understand traffic sources, and measure browsing behavior.
• Data collected: Aggregated statistics, anonymized IP addresses, device type, and pages visited.
• Opt-out: You can block analytics cookies via browser settings or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

2.3 Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense & Third-Party Ad Partners)

To support free access to our Strength Training guides and articles, we display advertisements via Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These partners use cookies to deliver relevant ads and measure their performance.

• Purpose: Personalize ads based on your interests (e.g., fitness equipment, supplements, training programs), limit how often you see the same ad, and track ad conversions.
• How it works: Ad partners use cookies to build a profile of your browsing habits across websites. This allows them to show you ads that are more likely to be useful.
• Third parties: Google AdSense may use DoubleClick cookies, and other ad networks may use their own cookies. These are third-party cookies.
• Data collected: Non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, device ID, approximate geolocation, and pages visited on funcorexy.com and other sites.

3. How You Can Control Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Below are the ways you can manage your cookie preferences.

3.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• Block all cookies (including essential ones – this may break site functionality).
• Delete existing cookies.
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.

Check your browser’s help section for instructions (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

3.2 Opt-Out of Ad Personalization

To opt out of personalized advertising from Google AdSense and other participating ad networks, visit:

• Google Ad Settings – manage or disable ad personalization.
• YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance) – opt out from multiple ad partners.
• Network Advertising Initiative – opt out from participating networks.

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not stop ads from appearing; it simply means the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.

4. Third-Party Cookies & Data Sharing

Our advertising partners (including Google AdSense) may use cookies and web beacons to collect data about your visits to funcorexy.com and other websites. This data is used to serve targeted advertisements. We do not control these third-party cookies. For more details, please review Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
