Cookie Policy for EpicFlyx.xyz

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to EpicFlyx — your go-to blog for action sports, from big-wave surfing and freeride mountain biking to backcountry snowboarding and BASE jumping. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on epicflyx.xyz, and how you can control your cookie preferences. By continuing to browse our site, you agree to the use of cookies as described below.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display choices) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you return or navigate from one page to another. Cookies also help us understand how you interact with our content, enabling us to improve your experience and deliver relevant information about action sports.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use three main categories of cookies on EpicFlyx. Each serves a different purpose, but all are designed to make your visit smoother and more personalized.

a. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They enable core features like page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate properly. Examples include session cookies that keep you logged in (if applicable) and security cookies that protect against fraud.

• Session management
• Security and anti-fraud protection
• Load balancing to ensure fast page loads

b. Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (e.g., from Google Analytics) to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our blog. This helps us understand which articles about action sports are most popular, how users navigate the site, and where we can improve. Data collected includes pages visited, time spent on each page, and referring URLs — all aggregated and anonymized.

• Track page views and user flow
• Measure engagement with content (videos, galleries, articles)
• Identify technical issues (e.g., broken links)

c. Advertising Cookies

We partner with Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks to display relevant advertisements on EpicFlyx. Advertising cookies (also called "targeting cookies") are used to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing history across different sites. This allows AdSense to show you ads that are more relevant to you — for example, gear for skateboarding or upcoming action sports events. These cookies also measure the performance of ad campaigns (e.g., click-through rates and conversions).

3. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may use third-party cookies from trusted partners. These include:

• Google AdSense — for personalized and contextual advertising
• Google Analytics — for aggregated traffic analysis
• Social media platforms (e.g., YouTube, Instagram) — if you embed videos or share content, those platforms may set their own cookies

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of these providers for more information.

4. How You Can Control Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Here’s how you can manage your preferences:

a. Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, delete existing ones, or set alerts when a cookie is being sent. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our site. Instructions for popular browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

b. Ad Personalization Opt-Out

To opt out of personalized advertising from Google AdSense, visit Google's Ad Settings. You can also use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page to manage preferences across multiple ad networks. Even if you opt out, you will still see ads — they just won’t be tailored to your interests.

5. Your Privacy Rights

For more details on how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy. It explains your rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete your information.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
