Cookie Policy

This policy lists the cookies used on this website and explains how you can control optional analytics.

Effective and last updated: July 12, 2026

1. About cookies

Cookies are small text values saved by your browser. Some are necessary for a choice or secure feature to work; others help measure how a website is used. This site does not require optional analytics cookies to provide its public pages, contact form or chat.

2. Cookies used

CookieCategoryPurposeTypical duration
ik_consentEssentialRemembers whether you allowed or rejected optional analytics.180 days
ik_sessionOptional analyticsGroups first-party page visits into a random session after consent.30 days
_ga, _ga_*Optional analyticsGoogle Analytics distinguishes visits and produces aggregate usage reports.Up to 180 days
authjs.session-token or secure equivalentEssential, admin onlyAuthenticates the private administration area. Ordinary visitors do not receive it.Up to 30 days

Names can vary slightly by browser, environment or provider configuration. The AI chat keeps its temporary conversation state in the page while it is open; it does not use a separate visitor chat cookie.

3. Analytics consent

First-party visit analytics and Google Analytics stay off unless you select “Allow analytics”. If enabled, first-party analytics may process the page visited, referrer, general device/browser information, coarse location supplied by the hosting platform and a salted hash derived from the network address. The raw network address is not stored in my analytics database.

Rejecting or later withdrawing optional analytics does not reduce access to the public website. Google Analytics is configured without advertising personalization or Google signals on this site.

4. Your controls

Use the button below at any time to change your choice. Rejecting clears the site’s known optional analytics cookies where the browser permits it and prevents new analytics from loading. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings, though blocking essential cookies may prevent preferences or the private admin login from working.

5. Changes and contact

I may update this policy when the site or its providers change. The latest revision date appears above. Questions can be sent to ijaz@ijazkhan.com.
