Privacy Policy
Welcome to helixium.top (the “Site”), a blog dedicated to publishing articles on Applied Mathematics. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you visit our Site, leave comments, use contact forms, or interact with third-party services (including advertising and analytics).
By using helixium.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Contact form: When you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell or share this information for marketing purposes.
- Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the comment text. Your email address is kept private and not publicly displayed. We use this to manage conversations and prevent spam.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Log data & device information: Our servers and analytics providers may automatically record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and the date/time of each request.
- Cookies & similar technologies: We use cookies and local storage to improve your experience, analyze traffic, and enable certain features (see Section 3 below).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- To operate and maintain the blog (publishing comments, responding to inquiries).
- To understand how readers interact with our content (analytics).
- To display relevant advertisements (including personalized ads via third-party ad networks).
- To detect and prevent spam, abuse, or security threats.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
helixium.top uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until you delete them).
3.1 Essential / Functional Cookies
- Comment preference cookies (e.g., “remember me” so you don’t re-enter your name each time).
- Anti-spam and security cookies.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
- We use Google Analytics (or similar) to understand how visitors use the Site. These cookies collect anonymized data such as pages visited, time on site, and referral sources. We use this data to improve our content.
- Google Analytics may set cookies like
_ga,_gid,_gat. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
3.3 Advertising Cookies (Third-Party Ad Networks)
Important disclosure: We may display advertisements via Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These ad providers use cookies and device identifiers to:
- Measure the effectiveness of ads.
- Build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity across different websites.
- Show you personalized (interest-based) ads that are more relevant to you.
- Limit the number of times you see a particular ad.
Ad networks may use persistent cookies, web beacons, or mobile advertising IDs. The data collected is governed by the privacy policies of those third parties, not by this Policy.
3.4 Your Choices Regarding Cookies
- Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.
- Opt-out of personalized ads: To opt out of interest-based advertising from Google, visit Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out via the Digital Advertising Alliance (aboutads.info) or Network Advertising Initiative.
- Google Analytics opt-out: You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Third-Party Advertising & Personalized Ads
We partner with Google AdSense and potentially other ad networks to display advertisements. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, or other technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
What this means for you: You may see ads on helixium.top that are tailored to your interests. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you can adjust your ad settings using the links in Section 3.4 above. Even if you opt out of personalization, you may still see non-personalized (contextual) ads based on the content of the page.
We do not have access to or control over the cookies or identifiers used by third-party advertisers. For details, please review the privacy policies of Google (Google Ads & Privacy) and other ad networks.
5. Analytics
We use Google Analytics (or an equivalent service) to collect aggregated, anonymized data about Site usage. This helps us understand which articles are most popular, how users navigate the Site, and where our traffic comes from. Analytics data is not linked to any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., in a comment).
6. Comments & Contact Forms
This is a blog, not an online store. We do not process payments, collect credit card numbers, or store shipping addresses. The only personal data we collect is through:
- Contact forms: Used solely to reply to your questions or feedback. We retain correspondence for customer service purposes but do not use it for marketing.
- Comments: Your comment and display name are visible to other visitors. Your email address is hidden from the public and used only for administrative purposes (e.g., notification of replies, spam filtering).
We use an anti-spam service (such as Akismet) to review comment submissions. This service may check your IP address, email, and comment content against a global spam database.
7. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share aggregated, non-identifying data publicly (e.g., “most read articles”). We may disclose your information if required by law, to enforce our site policies, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
8. Data Retention
We retain your contact form submissions and comments for as long as they are needed to provide the service or until you request deletion. Analytics data is retained for a period of 26 months. If you wish to have your comment or contact form data removed, please email us at the address below.
