This Cookie Policy explains how Avinash Singh uses cookies and similar technologies on https://avinashs.com. It should be read with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and SDK identifiers used for analytics or advertising. This Policy refers to all of them as "cookies" unless we name a specific technology.
2. How we use cookies
We group cookies by purpose:
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for basic Site operation, such as remembering theme preference (light or dark mode) where that feature uses storage on your device. The Site may not function as intended if you block them.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic: which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and general device and region information derived from IP. Google may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_*. Analytics helps us improve content and performance; it is not used to sell your personal data.
Google Analytics ID on this Site: G-VQXGGHQEVX. Learn more in Google's cookie documentation and Google Analytics opt-out.
Advertising (planned)
We may enable Google AdSense or similar advertising in the future. Ad partners typically use cookies to serve ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure campaign performance. When advertising is active, this section will apply and we will update the list of partners and controls on this page.
You can manage ad personalization through Google Ads Settings and, for EU/UK/EEA visitors, industry tools such as the Your Online Choices portal where available.
3. Third-party cookies
Third parties that provide analytics or advertising may set their own cookies when you use the Site. Their use of data is governed by their privacy policies, not ours. We encourage you to review Google's policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
4. Your choices
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See help documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or your mobile browser.
- Analytics opt-out: use the Google Analytics browser add-on linked above.
- Do Not Track: some browsers send a DNT signal. There is no uniform industry response; we currently treat analytics the same regardless of DNT unless a future consent banner states otherwise.
Blocking all cookies may affect theme persistence and how we measure traffic. It does not block server access to the Site itself.
5. Consent (EEA, UK, and similar regions)
Where law requires consent for non-essential cookies, we will obtain consent before placing those cookies, typically through a banner or preference center. Until such a banner is deployed, we rely on legitimate interests for basic analytics as described in our Privacy Policy. When AdSense or other advertising cookies are enabled, we will align consent and disclosures with applicable requirements.
6. Updates
We will update this Policy when we add advertising, change analytics providers, or change how cookies are used. The effective date at the top of the page will change when we do.
