Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Iloveblogs.blog (“we”, “us”, “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit https://www.iloveblogs.blog (the “Site”). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.

We publish this page in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and Google’s publisher policies (including AdSense program policies). Where this page is summarised, the full section text controls.

2. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Usage data — pages viewed, time on page, referrer, browser type, language, viewport size.
Device data — IP address (truncated where possible), operating system, device class (mobile/tablet/desktop), user agent.
Cookies and tracking technologies — first-party and third-party cookies, local storage, session storage, web beacons.
Email address — only if you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us by email.
Voluntary submissions — anything you send us through forms, email, or social DMs.

3. Cookies

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device. We use both first-party cookies (set by our domain) and third-party cookies (set by the services listed in §5).

Cookie categories we use:

Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (e.g. session, security).
Analytics — measure traffic and usage patterns.
Advertising — select and personalise ads, limit frequency, measure performance, build profiles.

You can disable cookies via your browser settings. Disabling advertising cookies will not remove ads, but the ads you see will be less relevant. See §7 for opt-out options.

4. Web beacons and tracking pixels

We (and the third parties listed in §5) use web beacons (also called tracking pixels, clear GIFs, or pixel tags). These are tiny — usually 1×1 pixel — graphics embedded in pages or emails that load when you view them, letting the operator read or set cookies and log your visit (IP, user agent, timestamp, page URL).

Web beacons are used for the same purposes described under “Cookies” above. They are also used by email-sender infrastructure to detect opens and clicks.

5. Advertising & third-party ad serving

We monetise the Site through third-party advertising networks. These networks, when serving or measuring ads, may read or set cookies, read web beacons, and collect your IP address, user agent, and coarse geolocation (typically country-level) to select and personalise ads and to measure their performance.

No advertising network currently serves ads on this site. Analytics services active on the Site are:

Google Tag Manager — loads and orchestrates the tags listed here.
Google Analytics — traffic and behaviour analytics.
Cloudflare Web Analytics — privacy-first traffic analytics (no cookies, no personal data, server-side aggregation).
Ahrefs Web Analytics — traffic analytics with no personal data collection.

Google AdSense (publisher ID pub-5531968677301948) is declared in /ads.txt for account verification but does not serve ads on the site at this time. If and when an advertising network goes live, it will be named here — with its publisher/account ID — before it starts serving, not after.

These vendors are independent data controllers for the data they collect. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies. The Site does not block any of these vendor user-agents in /robots.txt; if you want to block specific vendors, use the opt-out links in §7.

6. Affiliate links

Iloveblogs.blog does not currently participate in any affiliate programme. No link in our articles earns a commission. If that changes, affiliate links will be disclosed here and tagged transparently before any go live; see our Editorial Policy and Affiliate Disclosure.

7. Your choices & opt-out

You can control or opt out of the data we and our partners collect:

Disable personalised Google ads — adssettings.google.com.
Industry-wide opt-out — optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance).
Browser-level controls — disable cookies, enable “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” in your browser.
Google Analytics opt-out — browser add-on.
Email unsubscribe — every newsletter we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link.

8. GDPR — rights for users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the GDPR (or its local equivalent) gives you the right to:

Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Erasure (“right to be forgotten”) — request deletion of your data.
Restriction of processing — limit how we process your data.
Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Object — object to processing based on legitimate interest or for direct marketing.
Withdraw consent — at any time, without retroactive effect.
Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in France: the CNIL).

Legal bases — we rely on (a) consent for analytics and advertising cookies and for the newsletter, and (b) legitimate interest for security logging, abuse prevention, and aggregate performance metrics.

International transfers — some vendors listed in §5 are based in the United States. Where required, transfers are covered by the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

9. CCPA / CPRA — rights for California residents

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

Know what categories of personal information we collect and disclose (see §2 and §5).
Request access to and deletion of your personal information.
Correct inaccurate personal information.
Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information — the Site does not sell personal information. “Sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising may occur via the advertising cookies listed in §5; you can opt out at any time by emailing mahdibrbr84@gmail.com with subject “Do Not Sell or Share” or by enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser.
Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

Categories collected (per CCPA): identifiers (IP, cookie IDs), commercial information (ad interactions), internet activity (pages visited), geolocation (country), inferences (ad relevance). Categories sold or shared: identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, geolocation, inferences — via the advertising partners in §5.

10. Children’s privacy (COPPA)

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact mahdibrbr84@gmail.com and we will delete it within a reasonable timeframe.

11. Data retention

We retain data for the following periods (or until you ask us to delete it):

Google Analytics cookies: up to 14 months (Google default).
Server logs (Cloudflare): up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.
Newsletter subscription: until you unsubscribe.
Email correspondence: up to 24 months.

12. Security

We use TLS (HTTPS) for all traffic, restrict access to administrative endpoints, and minimise the personal data we collect. No security measure is perfect; if you discover a vulnerability, please email mahdibrbr84@gmail.com with subject “Security”.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will always reflect when it last changed. Material changes will be announced on the Site or via email (for subscribers) at least 14 days before they take effect.

14. Contact

Questions, requests, or complaints about this policy? Email mahdibrbr84@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 14 business days.
