What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They allow the site, or third parties working with it, to recognise your browser on later visits, remember settings and collect information about how pages are used. Similar technologies include local storage, which keeps data in your browser, and pixels or scripts that send information to a service. In this policy, we use the word cookies for all of them.
Cookies can be first-party (set by gozcimnastigi.com) or third-party (set by another domain, such as Google). They can be session cookies, deleted when you close the browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.
Types of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices | Consent preference cookie, security tokens for the contact form | No |
| Functional | Remembering settings you choose and making tools work | Language, progress in exercise programmes, settings for the break timer (usually stored locally in your browser) | No, as they provide a feature you request |
| Analytics | Measuring visits and understanding which content is useful | Google Analytics cookies (for example names beginning with _ga) | Yes |
| Advertising | Delivering, measuring and, with consent, personalising ads; preventing fraud | Google AdSense and DoubleClick cookies | Yes |
Exact cookie names and lifetimes can change when providers update their services. Google publishes current details on its own pages about the cookies it uses.
Google AdSense cookies
gozcimnastigi.com is free because it is funded by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads, limit how often the same ad appears, measure ad performance and detect invalid clicks or fraud.
- Personalised ads: if you consent, Google may use cookies to show ads based on your interests and your visits to this and other websites.
- Non-personalised ads: if you do not consent to personalisation, Google may still show ads based on context, such as the topic of the page, general location and time. These still use cookies or similar technologies for limited purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention, where permitted.
You can also manage interest-based advertising across sites through Google's ad settings.
Google Analytics cookies
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which guides are read most, which exercises are popular and where pages can be improved. Analytics data are reported to us in aggregated form. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them.
How consent works
When you first visit, a cookie banner asks for your choices. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or choose by category. We use Google Consent Mode: Google tags on the site read your choices and adjust their behaviour. If you decline, analytics and advertising cookies are not set, and only limited cookieless signals may be sent as allowed by Google's terms. Until you make a choice, non-essential cookies are not set.
How to change your preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Your new choice applies from that moment; withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies. Common options include:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies or Delete browsing data.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Settings or Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Menu names vary between versions and devices. If you block all cookies, some functions may not work properly; for example, the site may not remember your consent choice or your progress in an exercise programme, and you may see the cookie banner again.
Changes and contact
We update this cookie policy when we add or remove services or when the law changes. The date at the top shows the current version. If you have questions about cookies or your data, please use the contact form. See also our terms of use.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the site without accepting cookies?
Yes. You can reject all non-essential cookies and still read the content and use the tools. Strictly necessary cookies and local storage are still used to keep the site working and remember your choice.
Will I still see ads if I reject cookies?
Yes, most likely. Google AdSense may show non-personalised ads based on the page content rather than your interests. These help keep the site free.
How do I change my cookie choices later?
Click the cookie settings link in the footer of any page. You can switch analytics and advertising cookies on or off at any time.
What is Google Consent Mode?
Consent Mode is a Google feature that lets its tags adjust to your consent choices. If you decline analytics or advertising cookies, those cookies are not set, and only limited cookieless signals may be sent as allowed by Google's terms.
Why does the site forget my exercise progress?
Progress and settings are usually stored locally in your browser. If you clear browsing data, use private browsing or block storage, this information is lost.
