What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience and allow certain features to work properly.

How We Use Cookies

At How Many Days Till Christmas, we use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website.

Google AdSense Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the Internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to:

  • Serve personalized ads based on your interests
  • Measure ad performance and engagement
  • Prevent the same ads from being shown to you repeatedly
  • Detect and prevent ad fraud
  • Provide aggregate reporting to advertisers

Google uses cookies like the DoubleClick cookie, NID cookie, and other identifiers to help show more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times you see a specific ad.

We may use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies help us improve our content and user experience by providing insights into which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate our site.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, and we do not specifically respond to DNT signals at this time.

Cookie Duration

Cookies may be either "session" or "persistent" cookies:

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser

Google AdSense cookies typically persist for varying durations, from several months to up to two years, depending on their purpose.
