When you visit this Website, small files and scripts—collectively referred to as “Trackers”—are used to ensure the site functions correctly, remember your preferences, embed videos, and gather anonymised insights about how users engage with our content. Some Trackers are essential for basic site operation and do not require your permission. Others enhance your experience or collect performance data and run only with your consent. You are free to manage or withdraw that consent at any time.
Who Is Responsible?
This site is owned and operated by the Owner (“we”, “us”). For any questions about this Cookie Policy or to request assistance managing your preferences, please contact the Owner at contact@parthoghosh.me.
Strictly Necessary Trackers
These Trackers power fundamental site features such as page loading, form submissions, and bot protection. Disabling them may prevent the site from functioning as intended. Examples include our session identifiers and security tokens, which expire after a set period or when you close your browser.
Functional Trackers
We use these Trackers to remember your choices—such as whether you accepted the cookie banner or selected a site language—so you don’t have to repeat those steps on each visit. They typically persist for up to one year.
Performance & Analytics
To understand overall site usage and improve load times, we employ anonymised analytics Trackers. These do not store full IP addresses but do record page‑view counts, session durations, and general device/browser information. Common examples run for up to two years.
Embedded Content Trackers
When you view embedded YouTube videos on our pages, Google’s scripts may set Cookies to maintain video quality settings and playback history. These Trackers are managed by Google under their own privacy policy.
Newsletter & Contact Form Trackers
If you subscribe to our newsletter or send a message, we rely on a third‑party email service that may place Cookies for up to thirty days to track whether emails are opened and links clicked.
Managing Your Preferences
On your first visit, a cookie banner will invite you to accept non‑essential Trackers. You can revisit and adjust those choices at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the footer. Disabling non‑essential Trackers may affect features like embedded video playback and newsletter signup.
Browser and Device Controls
You may also block or delete Cookies through your browser’s privacy or security settings. Major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge provide options to clear site data or refuse new Cookies. On mobile devices, you can use your operating system’s privacy settings to limit tracking.
Opt‑Out of Advertising‑Related Tracking
Although we do not serve personalised ads on this site, you can manage ad‑related tracking across the web via industry‑wide opt‑out tools such as YourOnlineChoices (EU), the Network Advertising Initiative (US), or your device’s ad‑tracking controls.
Policy Updates
We may update this policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. Significant changes will be announced via the cookie banner or our newsletter. Please check this page periodically to stay informed.
Thank you for taking the time to read our Cookie Policy. We aim for full transparency and want you to feel in control of your browsing experience.
