Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to infinily.top (the “Website”), a blog dedicated to publishing articles about reading, literature, and book culture. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data — including how third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) may use cookies and device identifiers.

By using infinily.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website. This policy applies solely to information collected through this blog and does not cover any third-party platforms linked from our articles.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact form submissions: When you use our contact form (e.g., to send a message or inquiry), we collect your name, email address, and any message content you submit. We use this only to respond to your request. We do not sell or share this information for marketing purposes.
• Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your display name, email address, and the comment text. Your email is kept private (not publicly displayed) and is used solely to notify you of replies if you opt in, and to help moderate spam. We use Akismet (or a similar anti-spam service) to review comment submissions; this service may check your IP address and user agent.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information (Cookies & Analytics)

Like most websites, infinily.top automatically collects certain technical data when you visit, including:

• Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring website URLs
• Pages visited, time spent, and click patterns

We use this data for analytics (via Google Analytics or similar) to understand how readers interact with our content and to improve the blog. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. infinily.top uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: To remember your comment preferences (e.g., “Save my name and email for next time”) and to maintain basic site functionality.
• Analytics cookies: To track page visits and site usage (e.g., Google Analytics cookies). These help us measure traffic and improve content.
• Advertising cookies: Third-party ad networks (see Section 4) may place cookies or use device identifiers to build a profile of your interests and serve you relevant ads across the web.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality. For more details on managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

3. Third-Party Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about site usage. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Third-Party Advertising (Including Google AdSense)

infinily.top may display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense and other similar networks. These ad networks use cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers to:

• Measure the effectiveness of ads
• Prevent the same ad from appearing too often
• Show you advertisements that are more relevant to your interests (personalized ads)

4.1 How Advertising Cookies Work

When you visit infinily.top, an ad network (such as Google) may place a cookie on your browser. This cookie collects information about your browsing activity across different websites (including pages visited, search terms used, and links clicked). This data is used to create a profile of your interests so that ads you see on our site and elsewhere are tailored to you. This process does not involve your name, email, or direct contact details.

4.2 Your Choices & Opt-Out Options

You have the right to control how your data is used for advertising. You can:

• Opt out of personalized ads from Google: Visit Google Ads Settings to manage or disable ad personalization. You can also use the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out tool (aboutads.info) to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
• Disable cookies in your browser: Most browsers allow you to block all cookies or third-party cookies. However, this may reduce the relevance of ads you see and may affect other site features.
• Use the “Do Not Track” setting: Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. While we respect DNT signals, ad networks may not. We encourage you to use the opt-out tools listed above for more direct control.

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads — only that the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with partners (e.g., analytics providers) for legitimate business purposes. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of infinily.top, our users, or others.

6. Contact Forms & Comments (Privacy Specifics)

• Contact forms: Information submitted via our contact form is stored in our email system and is retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry. We do not use this data for marketing or share it with third parties.
• Comments: When you leave a comment, your name and comment text are publicly visible. Your email address is stored privately and used only for moderation and reply notifications (if you opt in). You may request deletion of your comment at any time by emailing [email protected].

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data (such as contact form submissions and comment metadata) for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Analytics data is retained for a period of 26 months before being automatically anonymized or deleted.

8. Your Rights (GDPR & Other Privacy Laws)
