Last updated: July 2026

Welcome to IoniForge.top — your English-language blog dedicated to skill-building hobbies, from woodworking and coding to photography and metalcraft. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our site, and how you can control your cookie preferences. By continuing to browse IoniForge.top, you agree to the use of cookies as described below.

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 site remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, and display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return. Cookies also enable website owners to analyze traffic and deliver personalized content and advertisements.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on IoniForge.top to ensure the site functions properly, improve your experience, and support our free content through advertising.

• Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies: These cookies are required for the basic operation of our blog. They enable core features like page navigation, security, and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly. Examples include session cookies that keep you logged in (if applicable) and cookies that remember your cookie consent choice.
• Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies (e.g., from Google Analytics) to collect anonymous information about how visitors use IoniForge.top. This data helps us understand which hobby articles are most popular, how users navigate the site, and where improvements can be made. These cookies do not identify you personally — they aggregate usage statistics.
• Advertising Cookies: IoniForge.top partners with Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks to display relevant advertisements. Advertising cookies are used to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity across different websites. This allows us to show you ads that are more relevant to your hobby interests (e.g., tools, courses, or craft supplies). These cookies also help measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns and prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly.

3. How Google AdSense Uses Cookies

Google AdSense, our primary advertising partner, uses cookies to serve personalized ads based on your previous visits to IoniForge.top and other websites. The information collected may include your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and browsing behavior. AdSense cookies enable features such as:

• Showing ads tailored to your interests (e.g., ads for hobby tools or online workshops).
• Limiting the number of times you see a particular ad (frequency capping).
• Measuring ad performance and conversion rates.

For more details on how Google processes data, please review Google’s Privacy & Terms.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to Google AdSense, we may allow other third-party service providers (e.g., analytics platforms, social media sharing tools) to place cookies on your device. These third parties have their own cookie policies and are responsible for handling your data in accordance with applicable laws. We encourage you to review their privacy practices.

5. How You Can Control Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can control cookie settings through your browser at any time. Most browsers allow you to:

• View and delete cookies stored on your device.
• Block all or third-party cookies.
