We believe in being transparent about our practices, so please take a moment to read through this document carefully.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Think of cookies as your website's "memory" – they remember your preferences, login details, and other settings so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit a new page.
How We Use Cookies
At DoramasNovels, we use cookies to improve your browsing experience and to understand how our site is used. Specifically, cookies help us:
- Remember your preferences (such as language or font size) so you can enjoy a more personalized experience.
- Keep you logged into your account securely without requiring you to re-enter your password on every page.
- Analyze which pages and features are most popular, so we can continuously improve our content and design.
- Show you relevant advertisements (if you have opted in) and measure the effectiveness of our promotions.

However, please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of DoramasNovels and may prevent you from using certain features, such as logging into your account or accessing personalized content. To manage cookies, follow the instructions in your browser's help section (commonly found under "Settings," "Privacy," or "Cookies").

Google Analytics (Usage Analysis)
We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use DoramasNovels. This helps us compile reports and improve the site. Google Analytics cookies collect anonymous information such as the number of visitors, the pages visited, and the duration of each visit. We do not share personal data with Google through this tool.
Google AdSense (Relevant Advertising)
We may display ads using Google AdSense, which uses cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to our site or other websites. These cookies allow Google to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices at their official website.

Analytical Cookies
We also use analytical cookies from other trusted providers (such as Hotjar or Statcounter) to understand user behavior, such as how you navigate through our pages and which features you find most useful. This data is aggregated and anonymized.

For opting out of personalized advertising, you can visit the Your Online Choices website or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
