1. Introduction
LilMa Green & GreenMicro is a free, personal WordPress blog run by an individual as an altruistic resource. The site intentionally does not use tracking, analytics or advertising cookies. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies may be present, why they may appear, and how you can manage them.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites to store tiny pieces of information (for example session identifiers or basic display preferences). Cookies may be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (remain for a set time).
3. Our approach to cookies
LilMa Green & GreenMicro aims to use only strictly necessary cookies required for basic site functionality. No tracking, profiling, advertising or analytics cookies are intentionally used.
Typical strictly necessary cookies you may see (if set by your WordPress install or hosting environment):
wordpress_test_cookie— used by WordPress to check whether cookies are enabled in your browser.PHPSESSIDor other server session cookie — used by the web server to maintain a browsing session.wp-settings-{user}/wp-settings-time-{user}— WordPress preferences for logged-in users (usually only if an admin or editor logs in).comment_author_*,comment_author_email_*— only if you enable comments (recommend: keep comments disabled to avoid these).
These cookies are used only to keep the site working and do not identify you across other websites.
4. Third-party cookies & embeds
If the site includes third-party content (for example a video, document, or social embed), that third party may set cookies governed by their own policies. LilMa Green & GreenMicro does not control third-party cookie behaviour. If you want to avoid third-party cookies, avoid playing embedded videos or using third-party widgets on the site.
5. Do we use analytics or advertising cookies?
No. The site intentionally avoids analytics, advertising, and profiling cookies. If analytics or widgets are added in future, this policy will be updated.
6. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies via your browser settings (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari all provide settings to block or remove cookies). Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break some site functionality. General steps: browser Settings/Preferences → Privacy & security → Cookies (or similar).
7. Data retention & hosting logs
While the site itself avoids collecting personal data via cookies, your hosting provider will typically keep server logs (IP addresses, timestamps, pages requested) for security and technical maintenance. Those logs are controlled by the host; retention periods are set by the hosting provider.
8. Changes to this policy
If the site’s cookie usage changes (for example you add analytics or third-party widgets), this policy will be updated and the “Last updated” date changed.
9. No contact channel
LilMa Green & GreenMicro is operated as a personal, altruistic blog and currently has no contact channel on the website. If you wish to manage cookies you should use your browser controls.
