3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

 

CyberHaven uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your user experience, analyze how visitors interact with the website, and, where applicable, track affiliate commissions.

​

Cookies are small data files stored on your device that may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services integrated into our site (third-party cookies). These third parties may collect information directly from your browser.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of these cookies, including those used for advertising purposes, as detailed below. If required by applicable law (such as GDPR or LGPD), we will obtain explicit consent for the use of advertising and analytics cookies.

​

These third-party services include, but are not limited to:

  • Advertising Services (Google AdSense): We use Google AdSense to serve ads on our site. Google uses cookies (e.g., the DoubleClick cookie) to track your visits to our site and other sites on the Internet to provide targeted advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. This is known as interest-based advertising.

  • Google/YouTube: Cookies and tracking pixels are used for embedded video playback and analytics. Google's Privacy Policy applies to data collected by these services.

  • Affiliate Programs (e.g., Amazon Associates): Cookies are set to track purchases made through affiliate links on our site for commission purposes. Amazon's Privacy Policy applies to this data.

  • Donation Platform (Buy Me a Coffee): May use cookies to manage and process voluntary donations when you interact with the donation button or visit their platform.

  • Other External Links: Links to platforms like Goodreads, Wikipedia, and IMDb may use their own tracking technologies if you click through and visit their sites. While we do not control their cookies, your interaction with those platforms will be governed by their respective privacy policies.
     

You have the ability to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, be aware that disabling cookies may affect certain features, functionalities, or the personalized experience on the site.

​

Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page [https://myadcenter.google.com/home]. You can also control the use of third-party cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page [https://optout.networkadvertising.org/].

 

4. Third-Party Services and External Links

 

Our website may contain links to external websites and third-party services. When you follow a link to an external site, you are leaving our domain and are subject to their privacy policies and terms of use. ​ CyberHaven has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, or data handling of any third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external services you interact with. Your use of any third-party links is at your own risk. ​

 

5. Data Retention and Security

 

We retain the information you voluntarily provide (such as email addresses submitted through the contact section) only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry or as required by applicable laws. ​ CyberHaven takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
