Bhagavadgitam.com - Cookie Policy
Presented by Hinduwebsite.com
Last Updated: October 28, 2026
Summary: Bhagavadgitam.com does not set its own tracking cookies and does not use Google AdSense or any other advertising network. Cookies and similar technologies are used only by third-party services: Google Analytics (visitor statistics), Google Translate and Google Search (page tools), and Amazon (affiliate links). Visitors in Europe are asked for consent before analytics is used, and may decline. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie Settings link in the footer.
This Cookie Policy explains how Bhagavadgitam.com uses cookies and similar technologies. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. They let a site, or the services embedded in it, recognise your browser, remember your preferences and measure how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, serve comparable purposes.
Cookies we do not use
We do not set our own cookies to track you, do not build visitor profiles, do not sell personal information, and do not require you to register or log in. The fonts used on this site are served from our own server, not from Google.
Cookies and similar technologies on this site
| Purpose | Provider | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Consent preference | Bhagavadgitam.com | Stores your choice (Accept or Decline) in your browser’s local storage under the name bh-analytics-consent, so that the notice is not repeated on every page. It is not sent to our servers and is not used for tracking. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 | Counts visits and shows which pages are read, so that we can improve the site. The data is statistical and is not combined with information that identifies you. IP anonymisation is switched on. Only analytics storage is ever used; advertising storage, advertising data sharing and ad personalisation remain switched off. If analytics is not permitted, Google Analytics does not set its cookies, although it may still receive limited, anonymous signals that do not identify you. |
| Page tools | Google Translate, Google Custom Search | These Google tools may set their own cookies when a page loads or when you use them. They are governed by Google’s policies and are not controlled by the choice described below. |
| Affiliate links | Amazon Associates | If you click an Amazon link, Amazon may set a cookie to record the referral, so that we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. |
| Book links and banners | IngramSpark, PureLifeVision.com and other sites | Sites you reach by clicking a book link or banner may set their own cookies. We have no access to them and no control over them. |
How consent works
Analytics is switched off until your choice is applied.
Europe (including the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland): a notice appears on your first visit, and analytics stays off until you click Accept. If you click Decline, it stays off.
Other countries: a notice tells you that cookies are in use, and analytics is active by default. You can switch it off at any time through Cookie Settings.
We decide which group applies to you from your browser’s time zone setting. No location data is sent to us.
How to control or delete cookies
- Cookie Settings: the link in the footer of every page reopens the notice, so that you can change your choice.
- Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies and clear local storage. If you do, the cookie notice may appear again.
- Google Analytics: you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Amazon: see Amazon’s Privacy Notice.
- General guidance: aboutcookies.org explains how to manage cookies in all major browsers.
