This Cookie Policy explains how sushantdhiman.dev, operated by Sushant Dhiman, uses cookies and similar technologies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites or third-party services may store on your device when you visit a website.

Cookies can be used for purposes such as:

  • Remembering preferences
  • Measuring website traffic
  • Understanding how visitors use a website
  • Providing functionality
  • Measuring advertising performance
  • Delivering or personalizing advertisements

Similar technologies, including local storage, pixels, and other identifiers, may also be used for some of these purposes.

2. Cookies Used by This Website

I do not intentionally set first-party cookies for my own purposes.

However, third-party services integrated into the Website may use cookies or similar technologies.

These services currently include:

  • Google Analytics
  • Umami Analytics
  • Substack
  • giscus/GitHub
  • Google AdSense when advertising is enabled

The exact technologies used may change as these services change or as Website functionality is updated.

3. Analytics

Google Analytics and Umami are used to understand how visitors use the Website.

Analytics technologies may collect information such as page views, device information, browser information, referral information, and other technical or usage information.

This information helps me understand Website traffic and improve the Website.

Google Analytics is subject to Google’s own privacy policies and documentation.

4. Newsletter

Substack may use cookies or similar technologies when you interact with newsletter subscription functionality or Substack-hosted content.

Substack’s own policies govern its processing of information.

5. Comments

The Website uses giscus for comments.

giscus is powered by GitHub Discussions. When you interact with comments, GitHub and related services may use technologies necessary to provide authentication, comments, and related functionality.

giscus states that its service does not use tracking or advertising for its commenting system.

Google’s advertising cookies may be used to:

  • Serve advertisements

  • Limit the number of times an advertisement is shown
  • Personalize advertisements based on user activity, where applicable

Google requires publishers displaying Google advertisements to disclose the use of advertising cookies.

Users may manage personalized advertising preferences through Google’s Ads Settings.

Most modern web browsers allow you to:

  • View stored cookies
  • Delete cookies
  • Block cookies

  • Configure cookie preferences

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of some third-party services.

I may update this Cookie Policy when Website functionality, third-party services, advertising, or applicable requirements change.
