What this site actually stores

This page starts with the specifics for imrizwan.com, because a generic cookie policy tells you very little about a particular website. The general terms follow below.

Your cookie choice is not stored in a cookie

When you accept or decline in the consent banner, that choice is written to localStorage under a single key — not to a cookie. Practically, that means it never travels to a server, it is not readable by any other site, and clearing site data in your browser resets the banner. It also means a cookie-blocking extension will not hide the banner from you; clearing storage brings it back.

Analytics — Google Analytics 4

This site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-XF8F329XFD) to count page views and see which articles and tools people actually reach. GA4 sets a_ga cookie and an ID-specific _ga_* cookie, used to recognise a returning browser so two visits are not counted as two people. There is no cross-site tracking here and no advertising audience built from it.

Advertising — Google AdSense

Ad slots on this site are served by Google AdSense under publisher ID ca-pub-3166995085202346. Google may set cookies such as __gads and __gpi to cap how often you see the same ad and to detect invalid traffic.

What declining actually changes

This site implements Google Consent Mode v2. Consent signals default to denied, and are granted only if you accept. Declining does not silently do nothing: it tells Google not to use cookies for personalisation or ad measurement, so any advertising you see is contextual rather than based on a profile of you. The scripts still load — that is what allows the consent signal to be sent at all — but they operate in the restricted mode.

Controlling it yourself

You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which removes the stored preference and shows the banner again. Browser settings also let you block third-party cookies entirely, and Google's own My Ad Center controls ad personalisation across every site that uses Google advertising, not just this one. Nothing on this site requires cookies to function — the tools all run locally in your browser, and none of them need you to accept anything to work.

No account, no tracking pixels

There are no user accounts on this site, so there is no session or authentication cookie. There are no social media tracking pixels, no advertising pixels from other networks, and no third-party embeds that set cookies of their own. The tools process what you type entirely in your browser — nothing you paste into the GUID generator, CAML builder, or JSON formatter is transmitted or stored anywhere.
