How GlobalsBlog handles your data

1. Information we collect

When you visit GlobalsBlog we may automatically collect non-personal technical data including your browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and approximate geographic region. If you submit a comment, we collect the name, optional email address, and comment text you provide.

We do not collect any financial information or government-issued identification.

2. Cookies

GlobalsBlog uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — for the following purposes:

• Analytics cookies — Google Analytics places cookies to help us understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, session length, traffic sources). This data is aggregated and anonymous.
• Advertising cookies — Google AdSense places cookies to serve personalised advertisements based on your browsing history across websites. These cookies may track you across other sites.
• Preference cookies — We store your cookie consent choice (Accept / Decline) in your browser's local storage so we do not repeatedly ask.

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from reading content on this site.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and improve the site. Google Analytics collects data such as session duration, device type, and pages visited. This data is sent to and stored by Google. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on .

Google's privacy policy applies to data collected through Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy .

4. Google AdSense & advertising

GlobalsBlog displays advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to show ads that may be relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity on this and other websites.

Specifically, Google may use the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads on our site and on other sites across the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info .

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.

• Advertisements on this site are clearly separate from editorial content.
• We do not control which specific ads appear; Google's systems determine ad relevance.
• We may earn revenue when visitors interact with displayed advertisements.

5. How we use collected information

• To monitor and improve site performance and the reader experience
• To respond to comments, questions, or business enquiries
• To serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
• To understand traffic patterns and popular content categories
• To detect and prevent spam, abuse, or security issues

We do not sell, rent, or share personally identifiable information with third parties except as described in this policy or as required by law.

6. Calculator tools — no data collected

GlobalsBlog hosts free online calculators (Fuel Cost, Car Loan EMI, EV Savings, Toll, Trip Cost, Travel Budget Planner, Road Trip Planner, and Train vs Flight Calculator).

All calculator inputs and results are processed entirely within your browser. No values you enter into any calculator are transmitted to our servers, stored in any database, or shared with third parties. The calculators function as client-side JavaScript only — the moment you close or refresh the page, all entered data is gone.

GlobalsBlog uses the following third-party services that may process data:

• Google Analytics — website traffic analysis
• Google AdSense — advertising
• Supabase — database and content delivery
• Vercel — site hosting and edge delivery

Each provider processes data under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies directly.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, business, or legal requirements change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
