4. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies

Important Disclosure

Jamphy uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites on the internet.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Jamphy does not control the cookies placed by Google AdSense. Please review Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses cookies in advertising for more information.

5. Google Analytics Data Collection

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our platform. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, session duration, device type, geographic region (country/city level), and events (e.g., quiz started, question answered).

This data is aggregated and anonymised — we do not use Google Analytics to identify you personally. Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC, located in the United States.

We have enabled IP anonymisation in our Google Analytics configuration so that your full IP address is never stored by Google. You may also opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
