Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data Panchangly collects, why, and the controls available to you. We use Google Analytics and Google AdSense, so this policy covers both.
Summary
- We collect aggregate usage statistics through Google Analytics.
- Advertising is served by Google AdSense, which may use cookies to personalise the ads you see.
- We never ask for, receive or store your name, email address or account details — there is no sign-up on this site.
- You can opt out of analytics and ad personalisation at any time; the site works fully with both disabled.
Information we collect
Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful — for example, how often the Panchang pages are viewed and from which countries. GA4 does not log or store individual IP addresses in reports, and we have not enabled advertising features such as remarketing or user-ID tracking.
Advertising. We show ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
What we do not collect. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, payment details or location beyond what your browser reports to Google as coarse geographic region. There are no user accounts, comments or forms on this site, so we cannot associate any analytics or advertising data with an identified person.
Cookies
Two categories of cookies may be set when you visit:
- Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, storing a random identifier used to distinguish visits (for example,
_ga). - Advertising cookies set by Google and its AdSense partners, used for ad delivery, frequency capping and (where you have not opted out) ad personalisation.
Your city preference is stored in your own browser’s local storage and is never transmitted to us or to third parties.
Your choices
- You can opt out of Google Analytics with the official browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- You can turn off ads personalisation in Google Ads Settings: google.com/settings/ads. You will still see ads — they will simply not be personalised.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site remains fully functional without them.
- For visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, Google provides additional information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Server logs
Our hosting provider records standard request logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL) for security and abuse prevention. These logs are not used to profile visitors and are retained only for a short period.
Changes to this policy
If our use of analytics or advertising changes materially (for example, adding a new provider), we will update this page and revise the date below before the change takes effect.
