Who we are
waspdev.com ("the Site") is a personal blog and portfolio operated by Suren Enfiajyan, based in Armenia ("we", "us", "our"). Your privacy is important to us, and this policy explains what data we (and the services we use) collect and how it is handled.
What are cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information that your browser stores on your computer's hard drive or on your mobile device when you visit a website. These pieces of information move between the website's server and your browser. Cookies thus allow the user's terminal (computer, smartphone, etc.) to be identified and the website's content to be displayed according to the user's preferences. Cookies cannot be used to identify a person.

| Monetag (advertising network) | Serve ads, cap ad-frequency, fight fraud, and measure campaign performance | IP address, coarse geo-location, user-agent, ad-engagement events, pseudonymous ID cookies |

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics with IP-anonymization enabled. Google acts as our data processor, and data may be stored on servers in the United States. Google Analytics sets cookies (listed above) to compile reports on Site traffic and usage patterns.
- Opt-out: You may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or block analytics cookies in your browser.
Monetag advertising
The Site integrates Monetag to display banner, interstitial, or push-style ads. Monetag uses third-party cookies and similar technologies to:
- Select ads that are likely to be relevant to you
- Limit how often the same ad is shown (frequency-capping)
- Measure clicks, impressions, and guard against fraudulent traffic
Monetag's cookies store only pseudonymous identifiers-not your name, email, or exact address. Data may be processed on servers outside your jurisdiction. For details, see Monetag's Privacy Policy and Opt-out page.
- Opt-out: Click Monetag's Opt-out link. This tells Monetag not to personalize or target ads.
Embedded or external links
The Site may link to external sites (e.g., GitHub, LinkedIn, MDN Web Docs). Clicking those links takes you to properties we do not control. Review their privacy policies separately.
Your rights (GDPR & similar laws)
If you are in the EU/EEA or under similar regimes, you may have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Rectify inaccurate data
- Delete your data (right to be forgotten)
- Port data to another service
- Withdraw consent at any time
Because we store no direct personal data, exercising these rights usually entails removing analytics cookies or emailing us to delete correspondence.
Data security
The Site is served over HTTPS. While no internet transmission is perfectly secure, we implement technical measures (TLS, secure server configuration) to reduce risks.
International transfers
Google Analytics and Monetag may process data outside your jurisdiction (including the USA). Standard contractual clauses and Google's Data Processing Amendment apply to safeguard EU data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or Site functionality. The "Last updated on" date at the top will change accordingly. Significant changes will be announced on this Site.
