What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, which can make the site work more efficiently and provide a better user experience. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, local storage, and device identifiers.
Cookies can be used for many different purposes: keeping you logged in, remembering language preferences, storing items in a shopping cart, recording analytics data, and delivering targeted advertising based on your interests.
Types of cookies we use
We use several categories of cookies on sn.latihanujian.me. Below is an overview of the most common types and why they matter.
- Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas of the site, and form submissions. Without these cookies, some parts of the site cannot operate. - Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most visited and whether visitors receive error messages). We use this data to improve performance and content. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally. - Functional Cookies
These remember choices you make (such as preferred language, font size, or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features. - Advertising & Tracking Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They can track your browsing across websites and build a profile of your interests. These are commonly used by third-party advertising networks. - Social Media Cookies
These are set by social networks when you share or like content. They may be used for advertising purposes on those networks.
What is Interest-Based Advertising (IBA)?
Interest-Based Advertising (IBA) — also called behavioral advertising — refers to the practice of showing ads that are tailored to your inferred interests based on your previous visits and interactions with websites. For example, if you read several guides about inverter air conditioners, advertising systems may show you ads related to inverter ACs, energy-efficient units, or AC maintenance services.
IBA helps advertisers present more relevant ads and helps publishers (like sn.latihanujian.me) display offers that are more useful to you. However, some people prefer not to be tracked for advertising purposes, so we explain below how you can manage and opt out of IBA.
How we use cookies and IBA on sn.latihanujian.me
On sn.latihanujian.me we use cookies and IBA for the following purposes:
- Site functionality: Keep you logged in to author/reviewer areas, remember preferences, and maintain secure sessions.
- Analytics: Understand how visitors use our AC guides, reviews, and troubleshooting articles so we can improve content and navigation.
- Personalization: Suggest articles, guides, or AC products that match your interests to make our site more useful.
- Advertising: Show ads that are more likely to be relevant to your interests (for example, AC brands, installers, spare parts, or energy-saving devices).
- Performance: Measure site speed and feature usage to optimize layout and load times for mobile and desktop visitors.
Some cookies are set by our site (first-party cookies) and some are set by third parties (third-party cookies) such as analytics providers and advertising networks.
Third-party cookies and partners
We may allow trusted third parties (for example, analytics providers, ad networks, and social networks) to set cookies on your device when you use our site. These third parties collect information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control the operation of third-party cookies and you should review the privacy policies of those providers for more information.
Examples of third-party activities include:
- Analytics and measurement (how visitors find and use our air-con buying guides)
- Ad serving and ad performance measurement

Your choices — managing cookies and opting out of IBA
You have choices about how cookies and IBA are used. Below are steps you can take to manage or opt out:
1. Cookie consent banner
When you first visit sn.latihanujian.me you may see a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. Changing these settings will update the cookies set on your device.

Note: Blocking cookies may affect site functionality and prevent some features from working correctly.
3. Device and app controls
If you use mobile apps or devices, check the privacy settings on that device or app to manage identifiers and ad preferences.
4. Opting out of Interest-Based Advertising (IBA)
You can opt out of targeted ads from most major advertising networks using their privacy or ad-settings pages. Popular tools include ad preference pages provided by ad networks or industry opt-out tools. To opt out, visit the ad settings in services you use (for example search/ad accounts or the settings page of your social networks) and turn off personalized ads.
Additionally, many countries have industry opt-out websites or browser add-ons that help manage cross-site tracking. If you prefer not to be tracked across websites for advertising, enable the options to limit ad tracking or personalized ads in your browser and device settings.
How long cookies persist
Cookie durations vary. Some cookies are session cookies and expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and remain on your device for a set period (days, months, or years) so that preferences and settings are remembered across visits. The cookie consent banner or your browser settings can show you the lifespan of stored cookies.
