Last updated: June 2026
At Legendly.xyz, we respect your privacy and are committed to transparency about how we use cookies. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use (including those from our advertising partners), and how you can control them. By continuing to browse our blog about Version Control, you agree to the use of cookies as described here.
This policy is part of our broader commitment to your privacy. For more details on how we handle your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as login state, language, and display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return or browse from one page to another.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by trusted services we use, such as analytics and advertising providers). They can be temporary (session cookies, deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on Legendly.xyz:
2.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies are required for the basic functioning of our blog. They enable core features like page navigation, secure access, and load balancing.
- Examples: Session cookies that maintain your browsing state, CSRF tokens for security.
- Consequence if disabled: The site may not function properly or may become inaccessible.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
- Purpose: We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our content about Git, SVN, and version control workflows. This helps us improve the blog’s structure, readability, and relevance.
- Providers: We may use services like Google Analytics (anonymized IPs) to collect aggregated data such as page views, time on page, and referral sources.
- Data collected: Non-personal browsing patterns, device type, approximate location (country/city level).
2.3 Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense & Third-Party Ad Partners)
Important for AdSense compliance: We display advertisements on Legendly.xyz through Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These partners use cookies to:
- Show ads that are more relevant to you based on your browsing history and interests.
- Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns (e.g., click-through rates, conversions).
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad.
How it works: When you visit our blog, ad partners may place a cookie on your browser. This cookie records that you visited Legendly.xyz and may be combined with data from other sites to build a profile of your interests. This enables personalized advertising. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you can opt out as described in Section 4.
We do not control the cookies placed by third-party ad partners. For more details, please review Google’s Advertising Cookies Policy and the privacy policies of our other ad partners.
3. How Long Do Cookies Last?
- Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (typically 30 days to 2 years) or until you manually delete them. Our analytics and advertising cookies are persistent.
