Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Cockpedia collects, uses and protects your information when you visit the website.

1. Information we collect

We do not require users to register or to provide names or email addresses to read the site. We collect certain non-personally identifiable information automatically:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on the site
  • Referring URLs

2. Analytics

To understand our traffic and improve the site we use third-party analytics tools:

  • Yandex Metrika: used to monitor site performance and traffic sources
  • Google Analytics: used to aggregate data about how the site is read

These services may use cookies. The data is used for statistical purposes only and is not linked to any personal identity.

3. Advertising partners

We display advertisements to keep this site free. Our advertising providers do not perform user profiling: ads are chosen according to the website, not to individual behaviour or cross-site tracking.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to:

  • Remember your preferences, for example that you have accepted the adult content notice
  • Remember whether you read sizes in centimetres or inches (stored only in your browser)
  • Ensure the technical functionality of the website

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, although some features of the site may not work correctly.

5. Data security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect our traffic data. No method of electronic transmission is 100% secure.

Cockpedia links to external websites, including scientific journals, museums and advertisers. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.

7. Updates

We may update this policy at any time. Any change will be published on this page.

8. Everything else

Matters not addressed above are governed by our general Privacy Policy, which applies to this site as well. Where the two differ, this page governs.
