Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Welcome to crypticly.top (the “Blog”), a publication focused on Inheritance Tax Planning. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and share information when you visit our site. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding contact forms, comments, cookies, analytics, and third-party advertising (including Google AdSense).

By using this Blog, you agree to the terms described below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use. This policy applies solely to information collected through crypticly.top and does not cover any third-party sites linked from our content.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide

• Contact forms: When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any message you submit. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell or share this data for marketing purposes.
• Comments: If you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the comment text. Your email is not publicly displayed; it is used for moderation and possible follow-up. We may store your comment and metadata (like timestamps) to prevent spam and improve the conversation.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information (Cookies & Log Data)

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit, including:

• Your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed.
• Information stored via cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 3 below).

This data helps us understand how the Blog is used, improve content, and deliver relevant advertising.

2. Analytics

We use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect and analyze usage patterns. These services may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to gather information such as:

• How often you visit, which pages you visit, and how you navigate the site.
• Demographic and interest data (if available via Google’s Advertising Features).

We use this aggregated data to improve our content and user experience. Google Analytics’ privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3. Cookies & Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to remember preferences, enable functionality, and serve ads. We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functions (e.g., comment form security).
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand traffic and usage (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Advertising cookies: Used by third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) to deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

4. Third-Party Advertising (Including Google AdSense)

We may display advertisements on crypticly.top through third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense and similar providers. These networks use cookies, device identifiers, and other tracking technologies to:

• Show ads that are more relevant to you based on your browsing history and interests.
• Limit the number of times you see the same ad.
• Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

4.1 How Ads Use Cookies & Device Identifiers

When you visit our Blog, ad partners may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (or use a device identifier on mobile). This allows them to:

• Build a profile of your interests across websites.
• Deliver personalized ads (also called “interest-based advertising”).
• Combine data from other sources (with your consent where required by law).

We do not control the cookies or data collection practices of these third parties. For more details, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4.2 Opting Out of Personalized Advertising

You have choices regarding personalized ads:

• Google Ads Settings: Visit https://adssettings.google.com to opt out of Google’s interest-based ads.
• AboutAds.info / YourAdChoices: The Digital Advertising Alliance offers a consumer choice page at https://optout.aboutads.info where you can opt out of participating companies’ personalized advertising.
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): Visit https://optout.networkadvertising.org to opt out of multiple ad networks at once.

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

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries via contact form.
• Manage and display comments (including spam prevention).
• Analyze site traffic and improve content.
• Serve and measure advertisements.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for any purpose other than those described in this policy.

• Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate the Blog (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery). They are contractually bound to protect your data.
• Advertising partners: As described in Section 4, ad networks may collect data via cookies for ad targeting.
• Legal authorities: If required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

We do not share your email address or comment data with advertisers for their own marketing.

7. Data Retention

We retain your contact form submissions and comments for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which they were submitted (e.g., ongoing conversation or moderation). Analytics and advertising data are retained per the respective third-party policies. If you wish to have your comment or contact form data deleted, please email us at the address below.
