What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred theme or whether you've already accepted this notice, so the experience feels seamless on your next visit.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot execute code, carry viruses, or read data from your hard drive. They simply store a small piece of text that the website can read back later.
Cookies We Use
We keep our cookie footprint as small as possible. All cookies we set fall into one of four categories, and only Essential cookies are active without your explicit consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages embed tools or content from external providers. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device, which are governed by their own privacy policies — not this one.
Giscus / GitHub — comment threads embedded on blog posts.
Cloudflare — CDN, WAF, and bot-detection security layer.
YouTube (nocookie) — embedded demo or tutorial videos, where present.
We use privacy-respecting configurations wherever possible — for example, youtube-nocookie.com embeds and IP anonymisation in GA4. We never sell cookie data to advertisers or data brokers under any circumstance.
Full Cookie List
The table below documents every cookie we set directly on tonirulislam.tech. Third-party cookies are documented in each provider's own policy (linked in the sidebar).
Your Choices
You have full control over non-essential cookies. Use the toggles below to update your consent — your selection is saved in the consent cookie and respected on all subsequent visits.
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Where applicable under the EU ePrivacy Directive, GDPR, and India's DPDPA 2023, we rely on the following legal bases for placing cookies:
- Strictly necessary: Essential cookies are placed without consent as they are required for the site to function — legal basis is legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website.
- Consent: Analytics, Functional, and Marketing cookies are only activated after you explicitly accept them via the consent panel above or the cookie banner on first visit.
- Withdrawal: You may withdraw consent at any time using the panel above. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Cookie Retention
Each cookie we set has a defined lifetime, listed in the Full Cookie List above. We do not extend cookie lifetimes beyond what is necessary. When the stated expiry is reached, the cookie is automatically deleted by your browser.
You can also delete any or all cookies manually at any time via your browser's privacy or cookie settings without affecting your access to the site — though some preferences, such as your saved theme, may reset to their defaults.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect new cookies we introduce, changes in third-party services, or evolving legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
Material changes — such as the introduction of new cookie categories — will be announced via a re-consent banner on the site, giving you the opportunity to review and update your preferences before new cookies are activated.
