This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which kinds are used on education.kalmausam.in, why they are used, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. Cookies let a site remember things between pages and visits — a setting you chose, or the fact that your browser has been shown a particular ad. Related technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage work toward the same ends; this policy covers them too.
Cookies set by this website are first-party cookies. Cookies set by other companies whose code runs here — principally advertising partners — are third-party cookies. A session cookie disappears when you close your browser; a persistent cookie stays until it expires or you delete it.
Categories of Cookies Used on This Site
1. Strictly necessary and performance cookies (first-party)
The Site runs on WordPress with LiteSpeed page caching. These cookies make the Site load correctly and quickly — for example, a caching cookie that tells the server which cached copy of a page to serve, and a consent cookie that records the advertising choice you made so you are not asked on every visit. These do not track you across other websites and cannot be switched off through the consent banner, because the Site does not function properly without them.
2. Advertising cookies (third-party)
The Site shows display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its certified advertising partners use cookies to:
- serve ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites (personalized advertising);
- cap how often you see the same ad (frequency capping);
- measure ad performance in aggregate; and
- detect and prevent click fraud and abuse.
Typical cookies set for these purposes include Google advertising cookies such as IDE and NID (set from google.com/doubleclick.net domains) and identifiers such as __gads and __gpi set for this site. The exact names change as Google’s platform evolves; Google documents its cookie use at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies and its advertising practices at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
The DoubleClick DART cookie, used by Google, enables ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of the DART cookie and personalized Google advertising at Google Ads Settings.
3. Analytics cookies
The Site relies primarily on aggregate, privacy-respecting measurement (server logs and ad-platform reporting). If an analytics tool that sets cookies is added in the future, it will appear in this section and in the consent choices where required.
Your Choices
Consent banner (EEA, UK, Switzerland)
Where the law requires it, visitors are asked before advertising cookies are set, via a Google-certified consent management platform. Declining personalized ads does not block the Site — you may simply see non-personalized ads, which use cookies only for frequency capping, aggregate reporting, and fraud prevention. You can revisit and change your choice at any time via the consent link on the page.
Opt-out tools
- Google personalized ads: google.com/settings/ads
- US ad-industry opt-out: aboutads.info/choices
- EU ad-industry opt-out: youronlinechoices.eu
- Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org
Browser settings
Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies — globally, per site, or third-party only. See the instructions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Blocking all cookies may make parts of many websites, including this one, work less smoothly.
Changes
We will update this page when the cookies used on the Site change — for example, if an advertising or analytics partner is added or removed. The effective date at the top reflects the latest version.
