Cookie policy.
Effective: 2026-05-03
This page explains how quietfield.in uses cookies. The short version: this site sets two analytics cookies via Google Analytics 4, and nothing else.
§1 Cookies set by this site
Google Analytics 4 sets the following cookies when you visit any page on quietfield.in:
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Assigns a random identifier to distinguish users. Used to count unique visitors and sessions. | 2 years | Google Analytics |
_ga_KYY6N65TB7 | Stores session state for this specific GA4 property (page count, session start time). | 2 years | Google Analytics |
No other cookies — first-party or third-party — are set. There are no session cookies, preference cookies, advertising cookies, or fingerprinting scripts. No data is written to your browser's local storage or session storage by this site's own code.
§2 What Google Analytics does with these cookies
The cookies enable Google Analytics to distinguish one browser from another so that repeat visits can be attributed to one user rather than counted as separate users. The data collected includes: pages visited, time on page, approximate location (country and city, derived from IP address), device type, browser, operating system, and referral source. No name, email address, or directly identifying information is collected.
Quietfield uses this data only to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are read, where visitors come from, and what devices they use. Google Signals, advertising features, and data sharing with other Google products are all disabled for this property. This data is not used for advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking of any kind.
§3 How to opt out
You have several options to prevent Google Analytics from measuring your visit:
- Browser add-on: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on — it works across all websites that use GA.
- Content blocker: An ad blocker or privacy extension (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger) will block
googletagmanager.comrequests automatically. - Delete cookies: You can delete the
_gaand_ga_KYY6N65TB7cookies from your browser's cookie storage at any time. You will be counted as a new visitor on your next visit. - Browser privacy settings: Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies or all cookies in settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect other websites you use.
§4 Server-side access logs
This site is hosted on Hostinger's shared hosting infrastructure. As part of normal server operation, Hostinger's servers automatically record standard HTTP access log entries (IP address, requested URL, date and time, browser user agent, HTTP status code). This is infrastructure logging, not analytics, and is governed by Hostinger's privacy policy.
§5 Contact form
The contact form at quietfield.in/contact/ does not set cookies. It uses a server-side PHP handler. The only data processed is what you explicitly type into the form fields (name, email, message).
§6 Third-party links
This site contains links to external websites (for example, the Chrome Web Store and GitHub). Once you leave quietfield.in, this cookie policy no longer applies. Third-party sites have their own privacy and cookie policies.
§7 Your rights
You may opt out of Google Analytics measurement at any time using the methods described in §3. You may also request deletion of data associated with your GA4 identifier by contacting us via the contact page — we will submit a deletion request to our GA4 property within 30 days. For broader data rights (EU GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, DPDPA), see the site privacy policy.
§8 Changes to this policy
If this site begins using additional cookies or tracking technologies, this policy will be updated with a new effective date before those changes take effect.
§9 Applicable law
This policy is consistent with the requirements of:
- EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended by 2009/136/EC)
- EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — Regulation (EU) 2016/679
- UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR)
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
- India Information Technology Act 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA)
