Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 16, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how The Weekend Fixer uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://theweekendfixer.khacdaunamviet.vn. It complements our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. Cookies let the site remember things about your visit — like your preferences, login state, or whether you’ve seen a notice. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, work better, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website’s owners.
Similar technologies covered by this policy include:
- Local Storage — browser-based storage we use for things like remembering which reading tips you’ve marked complete
- Web beacons (1×1 pixel images) — used by analytics and advertising partners to measure engagement
- Device fingerprinting — limited use by our security partner (Cloudflare) for bot detection

How to manage cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Our cookie banner — first-time visitors from the EU/UK/EEA see a consent banner. You can change your choice anytime by clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer.
- Browser settings — every modern browser lets you delete cookies and block future ones. See instructions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
- Google Ad Settings — opt out of personalized advertising at google.com/settings/ads.
- Industry opt-out — NAI Opt-Out · DAA Opt-Out · EDAA Your Online Choices.
- Browser “Do Not Track” / Global Privacy Control — we honor the GPC signal where transmitted.
Impact of blocking cookies
- Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break login and security features.
- Blocking analytics cookies has no effect on your experience but means we lose insight into which articles need updating.
- Blocking advertising cookies means ads still appear but they may be less relevant. Without ad revenue, the Site would need an alternative funding model.
Changes
If we add a new cookie or change the purpose of an existing one, we will update this page. Material changes are announced via the cookie banner.
