Cookies Policy

What a Cookie Is

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device to remember information between page loads or visits. Browsers also support related technologies — local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels — that play similar roles. In this document the word "cookies" covers all of these together unless stated otherwise.

Cookie Categories Used on 113.info

1. Strictly Necessary

These cookies are needed for the basic operation of the site, such as remembering language preference for the current session. They do not require your consent under most data-protection laws because the site cannot function correctly without them. The site sets very few of these.

2. Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are read most, how visitors arrive on the site, and which content needs improvement. The Google Analytics script we deploy is configured to anonymize IP addresses. Typical cookies in this category include _ga and _ga_*.

3. Advertising (Google AdSense and partners)

The site shows ads delivered through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar identifiers to:

• Serve ads and decide which ad to show.
• Cap the number of times you see the same ad ("frequency capping").
• Measure ad performance and detect invalid traffic.
• Where you have consented, personalise ads based on activity across sites.

Common identifiers in this category include __gads, __gpi, and DoubleClick / Google Ads cookies set on third-party domains.

How to Control Cookies

Browser Settings

Every modern browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies. The exact steps differ between Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — search your browser's help for "manage cookies". You can also enable "Do Not Track" or use private/incognito mode for a stricter default.

Opting Out of Personalised Ads

If you would prefer not to see ads based on your activity across sites, you can opt out using these tools:

• Google Ads Settings — manage personalisation across Google services and AdSense.
• YourOnlineChoices.com — industry opt-out portal for users in Europe.
• AboutAds.info Choices — Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out for users in the United States and Canada.
• How Google uses information from partner sites — Google's explanation of data practices for AdSense and similar products.

Opting out does not stop ads — it only stops them from being personalised. You will still see ads, they will simply be less tailored.

Effect of Blocking Cookies

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break minor parts of the site. Blocking analytics or advertising cookies has no impact on your ability to read the content; you will simply not be counted in our usage statistics, and the ads you see will be less tailored.

Changes to This Policy

This Cookies Policy may be updated as the tools we use evolve. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last reviewed" date at the top of the page.
