This Cookie Policy explains how Pikashow.buzz utilizes cookies, web beacons, local storage tokens, and related browser tracking technologies when you visit our publication. We explain what these technologies are, why we use them, and your statutory rights to control or disable them.
1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are tiny data text files placed onto your computer or mobile device memory by web servers when you load internet web pages. Local storage (such as HTML5 `localStorage`) functions similarly by allowing web applications to persist client settings locally within your browser software without transmitting data back to the server on every HTTP request.
2. Cookie Classifications We Deploy
We classify the cookies used on Pikashow.buzz into three distinct functional tiers:
| Cookie Category | Purpose & Technical Function | Persistence Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | Essential for navigation, sticky header states, and instant search modal execution. | Session / 30 Days |
| Performance & Analytics | Collect aggregated, non-personal metrics on page render times and popular technical articles. | 90 Days to 1 Year |
| Advertising (Google AdSense) | Third-party vendor cookies used to deliver contextual ads and prevent duplicate ad impressions. | 6 Months to 2 Years |
3. How Third-Party Advertising Vendors Use Cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google AdSense, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to Pikashow.buzz or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve non-intrusive ads based on your navigation history.
4. How to Manage & Disable Browser Cookies
You have the absolute right to accept, refuse, or clear cookies at any time. Most modern desktop and mobile browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can alter your browser settings to reject cookies or prompt you before accepting cookies from specific websites:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Other Site Data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block All Cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions.
Please note that if you choose to disable strictly necessary cookies, certain interactive UI components (such as our instant search modal or expandable accordion drawers) may operate with reduced functionality.
