About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how lipsonthomas.com (the “Site”, “we”, “us”), a cybersecurity and Linux blog written by Lipson Thomas Philip, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit. It describes what they are, which types we use, who sets them, and how you can control them.
Please read it together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal data more generally. This policy and your consent choices apply to the domain lipsonthomas.com only.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device when you load a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences, keep it secure, and understand how it is being used. Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage and tracking pixels, do a comparable job. When this policy says “cookies”, it includes them.
- First-party cookies are set by us. Third-party cookies are set by another company whose service the Site uses.
- Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
How we use cookies?
Like most websites, we use cookies for a handful of purposes:
- to keep the Site working correctly and securely;
- to remember whether you have accepted, declined or customised your cookie choices;
- to understand which articles, tools and pages are read, so we can improve the content and performance of the
Site; - to support optional features such as web push notifications, embedded content and social sharing;
- to show advertising and measure affiliate or advertising performance.
Apart from strictly necessary cookies, non-essential cookies are used only with your consent.
