Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Nouns That Start With Studio (accessible at https://owrun.com) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we may use them, and how you can control their use when you visit our website.
We are a focused English learning resource for nouns that start with x. Our site is organized around Beginner Word Lists, Positive and Useful Words, Parts of Speech Lists, and Writing Word Lists. We want you to have a clear, straightforward experience when you visit, and part of that involves being transparent about how we use cookies.
If you have any questions after reading this policy, you can contact us at [email protected].
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be “session” cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
We may use cookies for several purposes, which are explained in more detail below.
Types of Cookies We May Use
1. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are essential for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as remembering your preferences (like which word list you were viewing) and ensuring the site loads correctly. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly. These cookies do not collect any personal information about you and are typically session-based.
For example, a functional cookie may remember that you have already seen a notification about our cookie policy, so we do not show it to you again during your visit.
2. Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies help us collect information about which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter any errors. This data is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it does not identify you personally.
By using analytics cookies, we can improve the content and structure of our site. For instance, we may learn that many visitors are looking for nouns that start with the letter “x” in our Beginner Word Lists, so we can add more examples there. We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, which set their own cookies. These third-party providers have their own privacy policies governing the use of your data.
3. Advertising Cookies
We may use advertising cookies to make the ads you see more relevant to you. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising networks. They may be used to:
- Limit the number of times you see a particular ad (frequency capping).
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns (ad measurement).
- Prevent fraud, such as fake clicks on ads.
- Show you ads that are more relevant to your interests based on your browsing history.
Advertising cookies may track your activity across different websites. For example, if you visit our site and later visit another site that is part of the same advertising network, you may see an ad related to English learning resources. We do not control the cookies set by third-party advertisers, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages. For example, if we embed a video from a platform like YouTube, that platform may set its own cookies. Similarly, if we use a social media sharing button, the social media platform may set cookies to track your interaction with that button.
We do not control these third-party cookies. You should check the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party services to understand how they use your data.
5. Web Beacons and Pixel Tags
In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs). These are small, invisible images that are placed on certain pages of our website. Web beacons work together with cookies to help us understand how users interact with our content. For example, they may help us track whether an email we sent was opened, or whether a particular page was viewed.
Web beacons may be used for analytics and advertising purposes. They do not store any information on your device, but they may communicate with third-party servers to provide usage data.
How to Control Cookies

- Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close Chrome.
