Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data including:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• General geographic region (country or city level)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• How you arrived at the site (search engine, direct link, referral)

This data is aggregated and anonymised — we cannot identify individual visitors from it. We use this information solely to understand which content is most useful and to improve the site's structure and performance.

Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC. You can learn more about how Google handles this data at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google Analytics and IP Anonymisation

Google Analytics is configured on this site with IP anonymisation enabled. This means the last portion of your IP address is masked before any data is stored, further reducing the possibility of identifying individual visitors.

Cookies

This site uses cookies placed by Google Analytics to distinguish between visits and to track session data. These are first-party analytics cookies and do not contain personally identifiable information.

The cookies set by Google Analytics typically include:

• _ga — Distinguishes unique users. Expires after 2 years.
• _ga_[ID] — Maintains session state. Expires after 2 years.

No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies are used on this site. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from accessing any content on this site.

Third-Party Services

Beyond Google Analytics, this site loads the following external resources:

• Google Fonts — We load the Noto Sans Devanagari and Poppins typefaces from Google Fonts to render Sanskrit and Hindi text correctly. Google may log the font request. See Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.
• Google Tag Manager / gtag.js — Used to load the Google Analytics script.
• FormSubmit — Used only when you submit the contact form. The name, email address, request type, and description you enter are sent to the site owner by email.

We do not use social media tracking pixels, affiliate tracking scripts, advertising networks, or any other third-party data collection services.

External Links

Some pages on this site may contain links to external websites (for example, links to Google's privacy documentation). Once you leave BhagvatGeeta.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites and encourage you to review their policies independently.

Contact Page Submissions

The contact form asks for your name, email address, whether your message is a suggestion or problem, and a description. These fields are mandatory so that we can understand the request and reply where appropriate. Form submissions are sent privately to the site owner.

Children's Privacy

BhagvatGeeta.com is an educational resource suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children or any other visitors. Since no personal data is collected through this site, there is no special handling required for younger visitors.

Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal data directly, there is no personal profile or account data to access, correct, or delete. If you have concerns about data collected by Google Analytics on your behalf, you can:

• Use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on
• Clear cookies from your browser
• Use a privacy-focused browser or extension that blocks analytics scripts
