Last updated: July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on happyzen.top (the “Site”), and how you can control them. Our Site is an English-language blog dedicated to game programming tutorials, insights, and community discussions.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies can be “persistent” (remain after you close your browser) or “session” (deleted when you close your browser).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on HappyZen.top:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the Site. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate properly.

• Session cookies to maintain your login state (if applicable)
• Anti-CSRF tokens for form security
• Load-balancing cookies to ensure stable performance

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our game programming blog. This helps us improve content, track popular tutorials, and measure site performance. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized data such as pages visited, time spent, and referral sources.

2.3 Advertising Cookies

We partner with Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks to display relevant advertisements on our Site. Advertising cookies are used to:

• Build a profile of your interests based on browsing behavior
• Show personalized ads that are more relevant to you
• Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns (e.g., clicks, impressions)
• Limit the number of times you see a particular ad

These cookies may be set by Google AdSense or other ad partners. They remember your visits to this Site and other websites, and may share data with advertisers. For more details, see Google’s Advertising Cookies page.

3. How We Use Ad Cookies (Google AdSense)

HappyZen.top uses Google AdSense to display ads. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to our Site and other websites across the internet. This process, called “interest-based advertising,” helps show you ads that are more likely to be useful and relevant. AdSense also uses cookies to measure ad performance and prevent fraud. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our Site at Google’s Partner Sites Policy.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to Google AdSense, we may use cookies from other trusted third-party services, such as:

• Google Analytics (analytics)

These third parties have their own cookie policies. We encourage you to review them.
