Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how oracleium.top (the “Site” or “we”) collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit or interact with our blog, which publishes articles about Motorsport Engineering. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide Directly
- Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any message content you provide. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
- Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name (or pseudonym), email address, and the content of your comment. Your name and comment will be publicly displayed; your email address is kept private and used only for moderation or follow-up if needed.
We do not require you to create an account, make purchases, or provide payment information. This is a blog, not an online store.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit oracleium.top, certain information is automatically collected via cookies, log files, and similar technologies:
- Your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed.
- Usage data such as time spent on the Site, click patterns, and interaction with articles.
- Information about your device and settings (e.g., language preference, screen resolution).
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (e.g., web beacons, local storage) to improve your experience, analyze traffic, and serve relevant advertisements. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for the basic functioning of the Site, such as security and comment form anti-spam measures.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our content (e.g., which articles are most popular, how users navigate the Site). We use these to improve our blog.
- Advertising cookies: Used by third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based on your browsing activity. These cookies track your visits across websites and help measure ad performance.
You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.
3. Third-Party Advertising & Personalized Ads
Personalized ads are based on your browsing history, interests, and demographic information inferred from your online activity. This allows advertisers to show you ads that are more relevant to you.
How ads use cookies/device identifiers:
- Ad networks assign a unique cookie or device ID to your browser or device.
- They record which pages you visit, which ads you click, and other interaction data.
- This information is used to build a profile of your interests and to serve targeted ads on oracleium.top and other sites.
Your choices and opt-out options:
- Google Ads Settings: You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting adssettings.google.com. You may also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Industry opt-out: Visit aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or youronlinechoices.com (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance) to opt out of interest-based advertising from multiple participating companies.
- Mobile devices: You can reset your advertising identifier or limit ad tracking in your device’s privacy settings (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android).
Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads — you will still see non-personalized (contextual) ads based on the content of the page you are viewing.
4. Analytics
We use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect and analyze information about how you use the Site. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to gather data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. This data is aggregated and used to improve our content and user experience.
Google Analytics’ privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on mentioned above.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for payment processing or order fulfillment, as we do not sell products or services.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: We engage trusted third parties (e.g., hosting provider, analytics platform, ad networks) who process data on our behalf. They are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
