Top Stories Journey – Privacy Policy
Effective 30 September 2026
We keep things simple on top.storylifejourney.com: we publish stories, we show some ads, and we collect as little information as we can. Here is what that means in practice.
1. Automatic information
Whenever a page loads, our server and service providers receive standard technical information, including your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, preferred language, referring website, pages viewed and time spent on them.
2. Information you send
If you email us, we see your email address and message. We use them only to respond, and we never add you to a mailing list.
3. Cookies
We and our partners use cookies for site functionality, visitor statistics and advertising. Cookies can be blocked or cleared through your browser settings at any time.
4. Google AdSense
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com). Opt-outs for many other third-party vendors are available at www.aboutads.info.
5. Other ad networks
Additional third-party advertising networks may serve ads here and use cookies, beacons or similar technologies to measure results. We cannot access or control these technologies; please refer to each provider’s privacy policy.
6. Google Analytics
Google Analytics gives us anonymous, aggregated reports on how the site is used. You can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on if you prefer not to be counted.
7. GDPR
If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, rectify and erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent for advertising cookies. You may lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
8. CCPA
California residents may request disclosure of the categories of personal information collected, request deletion and opt out of any sale. We do not sell personal information, and no one will be penalised for exercising these rights.
9. Children
This site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
