Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 22, 2026

This Cookie Policy describes how SRM Articles uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.srmarticles.com.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help remember preferences, measure traffic, or deliver advertising.

Cookies We May Use

Essential: Minimal cookies required for basic functionality if added by hosting.

Analytics: Pseudonymous metrics about page views and referrers if Google Analytics or similar tools are enabled in production.

Advertising: Ad network cookies if Google AdSense or comparable programs are active.

Fonts: Google Fonts loaded from Google servers may involve connection logging.

Flash and Similar Technologies

Legacy content may have referenced Flash or similar plugins. The rebuilt site does not require Flash. Local shared objects are not used in the default static deployment.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies expire when you close the browser and may support basic navigation state if added by hosting. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them and are commonly used by analytics or advertising scripts.

Managing Cookies

You can block or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect site appearance or optional features. Consult your browser help documentation for instructions.

Industry opt-out tools for personalized advertising may be available from ad network providers.

Static Site Defaults

The deployable static build ships without mandatory tracking cookies. Operators who add analytics or ads are responsible for consent banners where required by law.

Local Storage

Some browsers store data in local storage or session storage when optional features are added by operators. This static build does not require local storage for core reading functionality.

Third-Party Cookies

Advertising partners such as Google may use cookies to limit ad frequency, measure conversions, or personalize creatives when AdSense is enabled. Review Google’s ad technology provider disclosures for opt-out mechanisms available in your region.

Cookie Consent

Operators serving users in the EU, UK, or other jurisdictions with consent requirements should implement a cookie banner before loading non-essential scripts. The open-source static package ships without a banner so you can choose a consent management platform compatible with your host.

Cookie Lifetimes

Analytics cookies may persist from a few minutes to two years depending on vendor configuration. Advertising cookies often expire within 30 to 90 days but may be refreshed on each ad impression. Review your browser’s stored cookies list after enabling third-party scripts to see actual names and expiration dates set in your environment.

Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit Do Not Track signals. Because there is no uniform industry standard, we do not alter data practices solely in response to DNT signals. You may still control cookies through browser settings as described above.

Browser-Specific Instructions

Chrome users can manage cookies under Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies. Firefox provides similar controls under Settings → Privacy & Security. Safari on macOS and iOS offers cross-site tracking prevention that may limit advertising cookies by default.

Edge and Brave include built-in blocking for many third-party trackers; test your site after enabling analytics to confirm metrics still meet your reporting needs.

Performance Cookies

Performance or analytics cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use pages—such as most-viewed categories and average scroll depth—without necessarily identifying individuals. Operators enabling Google Analytics or similar tools should disclose this use in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy shown to visitors.

Social Media Plugins

If social sharing buttons are added in production, those networks may set cookies when visitors interact with widgets. Load sharing scripts only after consent where required, or use static share links that open new windows without embedding third-party trackers on first paint.

Contact for Cookie Questions

If you have questions about cookies after deploying https://www.srmarticles.com, email support@srmarticles.com with your domain name and list of third-party scripts you enabled so we can help map them to this policy.

Include whether visitors are in the EU, UK, or other regions with consent requirements so guidance can be tailored to your deployment.

Updates

We may revise this Cookie Policy when our technology stack or legal obligations change. Review the last-updated date before relying on this document.

Questions: support@srmarticles.com. See Privacy Policy. This Cookie Policy applies to https://www.srmarticles.com and subpages served from the same static deployment package.
