Website Cookie & Storage Policy

Last updated: September 5, 2026

Overview

This Cookie & Storage Policy explains how Pritam Ghosh ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and local browser storage on https://mepritam.dev.

We keep tracking minimal, transparent, and focused on site performance. We do not run advertising networks, and we never sell visitor data.

Technologies in Use

We use two client-side storage mechanisms:

  • HTTP Cookies: Small text files placed on your device by web browsers. They store session tokens or unique client identifiers.
  • Browser Local Storage (localStorage): Key-value storage that holds persistent data on your device without sending it in HTTP headers.

Categories of Cookies and Storage

Essential Functionality and User Preferences

These client-side entries enable core site navigation and keep your interface choices:

  • Theme Preference (theme): Stored in localStorage to remember whether you chose light, dark, or system color mode.
  • Developer Tools State (attendance_work_hours): Stored in localStorage when you use client-side tools like the Attendance Tracker. This data never leaves your browser.

Analytics and Performance Measurement

We use privacy-conscious analytics services to understand traffic patterns and detect broken user journeys:

  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4): Uses first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_<container-id> to distinguish unique sessions and calculate visitor totals. We enable IP anonymization, disable Google Signals, and turn off ad personalization signals. GA4 cookies use SameSite=Lax;Secure flags and expire after up to 2 years. Learn more in the Google Privacy Policy. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to disable GA4 tracking.
  • Mixpanel Analytics: Measures page views, scroll depth milestones, and interaction events like search queries and button clicks. Mixpanel stores client state in browser localStorage under mp_* keys rather than cookies. We route all Mixpanel telemetry through European Union infrastructure (https://api-eu.mixpanel.com). Autocapture and session recordings are disabled. Learn more in the Mixpanel Privacy Policy.
  • Ahrefs Web Analytics: A lightweight script loaded from https://analytics.ahrefs.com/analytics.js. It assesses high-level traffic and search discoverability without building individual user profiles. Learn more in the Ahrefs Privacy Policy.

Security and Bot Protection

  • Cloudflare Turnstile: We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our Contact page to confirm visitors are human and prevent automated form spam. Turnstile may place security cookies or check device signals without serving interactive CAPTCHAs. Review the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for details.

Technologies We Do Not Use

To prevent misunderstanding:

  • We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking networks.
  • We do not run Facebook / Meta pixels or social audience remarketing tags.
  • We do not use session recording or keylogging software.
  • We do not maintain user accounts or require account registration on this site.

How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You can control or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Use the official guides below:

To clear local storage data, use your browser's Developer Tools (Storage or Application tab) or clear your browsing history and site cache. Disabling cookies will not break read-only navigation on this portfolio.

Changes to This Policy

We review this policy periodically when introducing new tools or analytics configurations. Updates take effect immediately upon publication on this page.
