🔹 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your browser when you visit a website. They help remember your preferences, such as:
- Language settings
- Items you’ve clicked
- Time spent on specific pages
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. The site will still work, though some features might not behave exactly the same.
🔹 Analytics
We may use privacy-focused tools (like Plausible or a simple local tracker) to collect general statistics—without identifying individual users. These tools help us answer questions like:
- Which articles are most popular?
- What day do people visit the blog the most?
5. External Links
Some posts on Data Impala may link to other websites, like GitHub repositories, free eBooks, or learning resources. Please be aware that we have no control over the privacy policies of those sites. Once you leave Data Impala, we recommend reading the privacy policy of any external website you visit.
