3. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-1689677734093290) to display advertisements that help fund this publication. Google and its partners may use cookies, advertising IDs, pixels, or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and personalize ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Third parties, including Google, may collect or receive data from our site for advertising purposes.

You can learn more in Google’s advertising policies. To opt out of personalized Google ads, visit adssettings.google.com. You can also control cookies in your browser; blocking some cookies may affect ad delivery or relevance. In the EEA/UK and for French/German readers we show a consent choice before loading non-essential ad scripts where required.

4. Cookies (basics)

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Categories we and our partners may use:

5. How we use information

• To operate, secure, and improve the publication
• To understand which articles readers find useful
• To respond to messages you send us
• To show advertising that helps fund the site
• To comply with legal obligations

6. Sharing & international transfers

We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product. We share data with service providers that help us host the site (including Cloudflare), deliver content, measure traffic, or serve ads (including Google), and when required by law.

Advertising and measurement may involve transfers to Google LLC (United States) and other Google affiliates. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards described in Google’s privacy documentation (for example Standard Contractual Clauses). Cloudflare may process data in multiple regions as part of content delivery.

7. Retention & security

Server and CDN logs are typically retained for short operational windows (often days to a few months) unless a longer period is needed for security or legal reasons. Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to respond and maintain a reasonable business record. Consent cookies expire on the schedule set in the banner. Ad partners set their own retention periods under their policies. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no online transmission is fully risk-free.

8. Your choices (EEA/UK)

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, or to object to certain processing. Contact us via favokres@gmail.com or the Contact page. For Google advertising preferences use adssettings.google.com.

9. California (CCPA / CPRA) — short notice

If you are a California resident, you may have rights to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. BankBankers does not sell personal information for money. Advertising partners such as Google may collect identifiers for advertising; you can opt out of personalized Google ads via adssettings.google.com and send privacy requests to favokres@gmail.com with “CCPA request” in the subject. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.

10. Children

BankBankers is intended for a general and professional audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it where appropriate.

11. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after updates means you acknowledge the revised policy.
