What this policy covers
This policy explains browser cookies and local storage used by alokblog.com. The website does not use advertising cookies at launch.
Essential storage
WordPress, Hostinger, Wordfence and Cloudflare Turnstile may use essential cookies or similar technical storage for administration, security, abuse prevention and reliable form operation. These functions cannot always be disabled without affecting the service.
Analytics choice
Google Analytics 4 is optional and loads only after acceptance when a valid measurement ID is configured. Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visits and understand website usage. Analytics retention should be configured to 14 months.
Remembering your choice
The website saves the analytics choice under alok_analytics_consent in local browser storage. A first-party cookie fallback may be used if local storage is unavailable. This prevents the consent prompt from appearing on every page.
Managing storage
You can reject optional analytics in the consent prompt. You can also clear cookies and site data through your browser settings to remove the stored choice and make the prompt appear again.
Future services
If advertising, embedded media or another service that introduces additional cookies is added, this policy and the consent controls must be updated before that service is enabled.
