Last updated: July 2026

MagicoRex (magicorex.com) is an English-language blog dedicated to housing policy, urban development, and affordable housing research. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding cookies on our site.

By continuing to browse magicorex.com, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, you should adjust your browser settings or refrain from using the site. For more information about how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site or navigate from one page to another. Cookies may be set by the site itself (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose services we use (“third-party cookies”).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on magicorex.com:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the basic functionality of our website. Without them, you would not be able to navigate the site or use its core features (e.g., accessing secure areas, remembering cookie consent preferences). Essential cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are typically session-based.

• Session cookies to maintain your session across pages.
• Cookie consent preference cookie (so we remember your choice).

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (primarily Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our blog. These cookies collect anonymized data such as the number of visitors, pages visited, time spent on the site, and traffic sources. This helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally.

• Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) – aggregated usage statistics.
• Duration: up to 2 years (per Google’s default settings).

Advertising Cookies

magicorex.com uses Google AdSense (a third-party advertising service) to display relevant advertisements. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other sites across the internet. These cookies enable:

• Personalization: Showing ads that are more relevant to your interests (e.g., housing policy books, urban planning tools).
• Measurement: Tracking the effectiveness of ad campaigns (e.g., click-through rates, conversions).
• Frequency capping: Limiting how many times you see the same ad.

Ad cookies may be set by Google or other third-party ad partners. These cookies do not directly identify you as an individual; they use a unique identifier (e.g., a cookie ID) linked to your browser and device.

For more details on how Google uses data when you use our site, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use their services.

3. How to Control Cookies

You have several options to manage or disable cookies:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• Delete all cookies stored on your device.
• Block cookies from being set (including essential cookies – this may break site functionality).
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.

Instructions for popular browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data.

Ad Personalization Opt-Out

• Use the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out tool (for multiple companies).

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will stop seeing ads – you will still see non-personalized (contextual) ads based on the content of our blog.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to Google AdSense, we may use other third-party services that set cookies (e.g., social media sharing buttons, embedded videos). These third parties have their own cookie policies. We encourage you to review their policies for more information.
