Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 August 2026
What this covers
This page explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on nabinaghosh.com, what our consent banner controls, and how to change or reset your choice at any time.
Consent banner
The first time you visit, a small banner in the bottom-left corner asks whether we may use
Google Analytics cookies. Your answer is saved in your browser’s
localStorage under the key ngcsi-ga-consent, with a value of
accepted or declined. This preference is not itself a cookie, but
we mention it here for the sake of transparency.
If you accept
If you accept, Google Analytics 4 (G-0DS0DRRTKE) may set two first-party analytics cookies. Both are read only by Google Analytics, and neither is used for advertising.
-
_ga, which lasts 2 years and lets Analytics recognise a returning browser. -
_ga_0DS0DRRTKE, which lasts 2 years and holds the state of your current session for this particular site.
For more on these, see Google’s cookie information.
If you decline
If you decline, GA4 still loads through Google’s Consent Mode v2, but
no analytics cookies are set. Instead, GA4 sends only cookieless,
anonymised measurement pings, and no _ga cookies are ever written to your
browser. Ignoring the banner has the same effect as declining, because consent starts out
denied and is only changed if you choose Accept.
Advertising cookies
There are none. This site runs no advertising or remarketing, and the Accept button grants consent for analytics storage only. Consent for advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalisation stays denied for every visitor, so no advertising cookie is set whichever button you press. Our Privacy Policy sets out what Analytics does and does not record.
Ahrefs Web Analytics
Ahrefs Web Analytics runs on every visit and, according to Ahrefs, does not use cookies at all. Because it sets no cookies, it sits outside the consent banner. You can read more in our Privacy Policy.
Other storage
Embedded YouTube players may set cookies if you interact with a video. Wherever possible we
use the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embed to keep this to a minimum.
Reset your preferences
You can change your mind at any time. To withdraw or update your analytics cookie choice, use the button below. It clears your stored preference and reloads the page, so the consent banner appears again and GA4 returns to cookieless mode until you choose Accept.
