Cookies Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device. Similar technologies include local storage and scripts that read information from your browser. They are used to remember things, keep websites working, or measure how they are used.

Cookies this website uses

Optional Google Analytics cookies are used only after you select Accept analytics. Selecting Reject analytics leaves analytics off without affecting browsing or enquiries. Both choices are offered equally.

Your choice is saved in local storage under vedic-priest-analytics-consent for 180 days, so the website can remember it. This preference storage is used whether you accept or reject. If your browser blocks storage, a notice is shown and your choice applies only to the current page.

When accepted, Google Analytics uses _ga and _ga_GMJVGBL2CY cookies to distinguish visits, configured to last up to 180 days without automatic renewal. It receives page paths and technical usage information. Advertising signals and advertising personalisation are disabled. Page query strings, fragments, referrers and enquiry form contents are not included in the page-view data sent by this website. See Google's Privacy Policy.

You can open Cookie settings in the footer at any time. Rejecting after accepting stops analytics, removes accessible Google Analytics cookies and reloads the page to unload the tag. Previously collected information is not deleted by changing this choice. An expired preference is requested again on your next page load.

The installable website also uses a service worker and browser cache to store visited pages, static assets and an offline fallback. Contact API requests are not cached.

The website's fonts are served from this website, not from a third-party font service.

The contact form loads Google reCAPTCHA v3 only when you agree using its separate checkbox and send the form. Google may set cookies and process device, browser and interaction information for spam protection. See Google's Privacy Policy. To avoid loading it, contact me by email, phone or WhatsApp. Once loaded, unchecking the box prevents another submission but does not unload Google's script; leave or reload the page to stop it running here, and use your browser settings to remove any cookies.

Links to other services

Some pages link to WhatsApp, which is run by Meta Platforms, Inc. When you open these links, the service you go to may set its own cookies. Please check its cookie policy. Opening a WhatsApp link from this website does not set cookies here.

Your browser settings

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Each browser's help pages explain how. Because analytics is optional, you do not need to enable analytics cookies to browse it. Google reCAPTCHA may use its own cookies if you choose to use the contact form.

If this changes

If I add any cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary, I will ask for your consent before they are set. I will also update this policy and show how to change your choice. Changes take effect from the date at the top of this page.
