What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. Cookies help the website remember information about your visit — such as language preferences, login status, or personal settings — to improve your experience on future visits.
Cookies do not contain viruses or malware. They are simply technical tools that help websites function more effectively and provide analytics information to website owners.
Types of Cookies We Use
The Truong Atlanta website uses the following types of cookies:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function normally. They allow you to navigate between pages and use core website features. These cookies do not collect any personal information that could be used to identify you.
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to track anonymous traffic and understand user behavior on the website. Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat to distinguish users, limit request rates, and collect statistical data. All data collected is completely anonymous — we do not know who you are, only that someone visited the website.
- Third-party Cookies: Some embedded content on our website — such as YouTube videos or social sharing buttons (Facebook, Twitter) — may set their own cookies in your browser. We have no control over these cookies. Please refer to each third-party service's cookie policy for details.
Cookie Purposes
We use cookies for the following specific purposes:
- Traffic analysis: Understanding reader numbers, visit times, and traffic sources to evaluate content effectiveness.
- Improving content: Identifying the most popular articles and topics to prioritize quality content production.
- Understanding reader behavior: Knowing which pages get the most views, how long readers stay, and how they navigate between pages.
- Optimizing the reading experience: Based on analytics data, we adjust layout, page load speed, and content presentation to deliver the best experience.

Your Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This extension prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits across all websites.
