Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, NexusTTS) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our platform. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are outlined below:
A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features. Because these cookies are essential to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.
- Cookie Consent Preference: We store a cookie on your device to remember whether you have accepted or declined our cookie consent banner. This prevents us from showing you the banner repeatedly.

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.

C. Advertising & Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
- Google AdSense: Google AdSense uses cookies to serve personalized ads to users based on their prior visits to our site and other sites on the internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve relevant ads based on your browsing behavior.
4. Third-Party Advertising and Tracking (Google AdSense)
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the AboutAds Info website.
