Cookie Policy for Dreamly
Last updated: June 2026
Welcome to Dreamly (dreamly.top), a blog dedicated to the craft of non-fiction writing. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we and our third-party partners use them on this site, and how you can control your cookie preferences. By continuing to use Dreamly, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
This policy is part of our commitment to transparency and your privacy. For more details about how we handle your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you return or browse from one page to another. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by Dreamly) or “third-party” (set by services we use, such as analytics or advertising platforms).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on Dreamly:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the website. They enable core features like page navigation, secure access, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate properly. Essential cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are set automatically when you visit Dreamly.
- Session cookies that remember your scroll position or temporary settings during a single visit.
- Security cookies to protect against fraudulent activity.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies (e.g., from Google Analytics) to understand how readers interact with our blog. These cookies collect aggregated information about page visits, time spent on the site, and which articles are most popular. This data helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics cookies do not directly identify you as an individual.
- Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) – measure site traffic and user behaviour.
- We anonymize IP addresses to further protect your privacy.
Advertising Cookies
Dreamly uses Google AdSense to display advertisements that are relevant to you. Advertising cookies (also called “third-party ad cookies”) are placed by Google and other ad partners to build a profile of your interests based on pages you visit on Dreamly and elsewhere on the web. These cookies enable:
- Personalised ads: Showing you ads based on your browsing habits and interests (e.g., writing tools, publishing services).
- Ad measurement: Tracking the performance of ads, such as how many times an ad is shown and whether you clicked on it.
- Frequency capping: Limiting how often you see the same ad.
Google AdSense uses cookies like IDE (for ad personalisation) and ANID (for ad measurement). These are third-party cookies stored by Google’s domain (doubleclick.net, google.com). You can learn more about Google’s use of cookies at Google’s Advertising Policy.
3. How We Use Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
We partner with Google AdSense to serve ads on Dreamly. AdSense uses cookies to:
- Deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests.
- Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns (e.g., clicks, conversions).
- Prevent the same ad from appearing too often.
These cookies do not store directly identifiable personal information, but they rely on a unique identifier linked to your browser and device. For more details on how Google processes data, please see Google’s Privacy Policy.
4. How You Can Control Cookies
You have several options to manage or disable cookies:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:
- Delete all cookies stored on your device.
- Block third-party cookies (including advertising cookies).
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is set.
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of Dreamly. Below are links to instructions for common browsers:
Ad Personalisation Opt-Out
You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google and other ad networks by visiting:
- Google Ads Settings – manage or disable ad personalisation across Google services.
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out – opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) opt-out – for users in the EU/EEA.
Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads; it means the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests (i.e., contextually based on the page content rather than your browsing history).
5. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to Google AdSense, we may use other third-party services that set cookies, such as social media sharing buttons (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn) or embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos). These third parties have their own cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control these cookies.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
