Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser. Cookies can also be first-party (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by a service used by the website, such as an advertising or analytics provider).

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies SlangWatch ("we", "us", or "our") uses, why we use them, and how you can control and manage them. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

SlangWatch uses cookies for several important purposes to ensure our website functions correctly and provides the best possible experience for our visitors. Below we explain each category of cookies we use.

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of the site cannot work properly. These cookies do not collect personal information and are typically set in response to actions you take on the site, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

SlangWatch currently keeps an ads.txt publisher record for Google AdSense verification, but we do not load the AdSense script, run Auto ads, or display AdSense ad units while we prepare the site for review. If advertising is enabled in the future, Google AdSense or similar partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads that are relevant to you and your interests.

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies help us measure the number of visitors, see which pages are most popular, and understand how visitors navigate through the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

In addition to our own cookies, third-party services may place cookies or process limited technical data when you visit SlangWatch. Current third-party services include analytics and infrastructure providers. Advertising partners such as Google AdSense may be added later only after the required review and consent controls are in place.

Third-party cookies may be used to:

• Serve relevant advertisements based on your browsing history
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
• Track visitor behaviour across websites for ad targeting purposes
• Provide social media sharing functionality
• Analyse website traffic patterns and user engagement

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers to understand their cookie practices and data collection methods.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Here are the ways you can control cookies:

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

Your continued use of our website after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
