This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog, leave comments, or interact with our contact forms. It also describes your rights regarding your data and how you can control cookies and advertising preferences.
funcorexy.com is a blog that publishes articles about Strength Training. We do not sell products, process payments, or require you to create an account. This policy applies solely to the informational and interactive features of our blog.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide
- Contact form submissions: When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any message you write. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
- Comments: When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name (or pseudonym), email address, and the content of your comment. Your name and comment are publicly visible; your email is kept private and used only for moderation or follow-up if needed.

- Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze traffic, and serve relevant advertisements.
- Log data & analytics: Our servers automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. We use third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how readers use our blog.
2. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
2.1 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember your preferences and improve functionality. Some cookies are “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser), while others are “persistent” (remain until you delete them or they expire).
2.2 Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functions (e.g., comment form security, load balancing).
- Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated data about page views, visitor sources, and browsing behavior. This helps us improve our content.
- Advertising cookies: Third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) may place cookies on your device to serve ads relevant to your interests. These cookies track your visits across websites and apps.
2.3 Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit funcorexy.com, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. You can also manage cookies directly in your browser settings (usually found under “Privacy” or “Cookies”). Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality or the relevance of ads you see.
3. Third-Party Advertising & AdSense
3.1 How Ads Work on This Blog
We display advertisements through third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense and potentially other ad partners. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, or device identifiers to:
- Show you ads based on your browsing history and interests (personalized ads).
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad.
- Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.
3.2 Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads
You may see personalized ads if you consent to cookies. Personalized ads are tailored to your interests using data collected from your visits to this and other sites. If you do not consent, you will see non-personalized ads that are based only on general location (e.g., city-level) and the content of the page, not on your browsing profile.
3.3 Opt-Out Options
You can control how Google and other ad partners use your data:
- Google Ads Settings: Visit adssettings.google.com to opt out of personalized advertising from Google.
- AboutAds.info: Visit www.aboutads.info/choices to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
- Network Advertising Initiative: Visit optout.networkadvertising.org for additional opt-out tools.
- Your mobile device: Use your device’s “Limit Ad Tracking” (iOS) or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” (Android) setting.
Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads – only that they will be less relevant to your interests.
3.4 Third-Party Ad Partners
We may work with other ad networks or programmatic platforms. Each partner has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their practices. A current list of our ad partners is available upon request via [email protected].
4. Analytics & Log Data
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our blog. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time spent, browser type, and device type. This data is anonymized where possible. You can learn more about Google’s data practices at policies.google.com/privacy and opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
