This Cookie Policy explains how I, Liao Zhu ("I", "me", or "my"), use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit my website. It explains what these technologies are and why I use them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help websites recognize your device, remember your preferences, and improve your experience.
How I Use Cookies
I use cookies for one purpose only:
- Analytics and Performance: I use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use my website. This includes data like the pages you visit, how long you stay, how you arrived at the site, and your general geographic location (not your exact address). This information helps me understand how my website is used so I can improve it over time.
Google Analytics may set cookies on your device to collect this information. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify you personally.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use their services by visiting: Google's Partner Sites Policy.
Your Choices
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling cookies may impact how well my website functions for you.
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If I make significant changes, I will update the effective date at the top of this page.
