Cookie Policy

This Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy and explains how the AOYII platform (operator: Shanghai Jike Fei Technology Co., Ltd.) uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can manage them.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer/mobile/tablet) by a website, used to recognize your browser on return visits, remember preferences, or measure browsing behavior. This website also uses similar technologies such as LocalStorage; all are referred to collectively as “cookies” in this Policy.

2. Cookies We Use

Type	Purpose	Essential?
Essential cookies	Core functionality (security, basic browsing, language switching)	Essential – no consent required
Functional/preference cookies	Remember your preferences to improve experience	Non-essential – consent required
Analytics cookies	Use Google Analytics etc. to measure traffic, sources, and page performance for content optimization	Non-essential (consent) in EU/EEA/UK; anonymized elsewhere
Advertising cookies	Google AdSense and other ad providers use cookies and device identifiers to serve and measure ads	Non-essential – consent required; declining serves non-personalized ads only

3. Third-Party Cookies

We may allow third-party providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Cloudflare, Baidu Analytics) to set cookies on your device for their own purposes. Use of such cookies is governed by the providers’ own privacy policies. On pages that display ads, Google AdSense and its certified partners place or read cookies in your browser (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your browsing history. You may opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.

On your first visit, we present a cookie consent notice; you may choose “Accept all” or “Essential only,” and adjust your settings at any time.
You may delete or disable cookies at any time via your browser settings, or adjust your consent where supported.
Rejecting non-essential cookies does not affect access to core content. Where Consent Mode applies, after you decline we collect only anonymized signals and use model-based estimation for aggregate analytics (without identifying you); personalization features remain unavailable.
To withdraw consent, clear your browser cookies or adjust your browser settings.

5. Geographic Applicability

We provide different analytics and consent mechanisms based on your location (determined from IP address and browser language):

European Union (EU) / European Economic Area (EEA) / United Kingdom (UK): We enable non-essential analytics cookies only after you give explicit consent via our banner; you may decline or withdraw at any time. If you decline, we rely on anonymized signals and model-based estimation for aggregate analytics, without identifying you.
Other regions (including mainland China): We conduct anonymized analytics by default (no precise IP retention, no cross-site tracking) without requiring a consent banner; advertising cookies are used by Google AdSense on ad pages as described in Section 3 above.
If your location is misidentified, contact [email protected] to request an adjustment.

6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers provide options to manage cookies (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge settings allow clearing or blocking cookies). Procedures differ by browser; please refer to your browser’s official help documentation.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time; updated versions will be posted on this page.
