1. What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the Site. Cookies help the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences (like login details, if applicable, or basic site settings), and provide anonymized tracking data to us.
Cookies can be “persistent” (they stay on your device until they expire or you delete them) or “session” (they are deleted once you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
VengaDragon.com uses cookies for two primary purposes:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Details |
| Strictly Necessary | To enable basic site functions. | These cookies are essential for the operation of the Site and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as remembering your preferences during a single session. |
| Analytics (Google Analytics) | To measure and analyze website traffic. | We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our Site. This data helps us understand which pages are popular, how long users stay, and how visitors navigate. The information is aggregated and anonymous (we do not use any personal identifiers). |
3. Google Analytics Disclosure
We use Google Analytics to understand website performance and visitor behaviour. The information collected by the Google Analytics cookies (such as your IP address, which Google anonymizes) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to compile reports on website activity.
How to Opt-Out of Google Analytics: You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which is available [insert link to Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on].

VengaDragon.com serves as a hub that includes links to other third-party websites, including Substack, Mark’s social media, and other content platforms.
When you click on one of these links, you are leaving our Site and being directed to a separate platform. These third-party platforms may use their own cookies and tracking technologies.
- We have no control over the cookies or tracking technologies set by these external websites.
- We strongly recommend that you review the respective privacy and cookie policies of any third-party website you visit, including Substack, as their data collection and tracking practices will differ from ours.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.
- If you choose to decline cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies), this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the Site and may affect how content appears.
