Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on raghawmishra.com, and how you can control them.

Last Updated: April 29, 2026

In plain English: We use cookies to make this website work properly, understand how visitors use it, and — where applicable — to run and track advertising campaigns. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal data that you have shared with us — such as when you fill out our contact form.

There are two main types of cookies by duration:

  • Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies on raghawmishra.com for the following purposes:

  • To ensure the website functions correctly and securely
  • To understand how visitors navigate and interact with the site
  • To measure the effectiveness of our content and pages
  • To track conversions from Google Ads and Meta advertising campaigns
  • To enable remarketing — showing relevant ads to past visitors on other platforms
  • To remember your preferences and improve your experience

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, basic features like page navigation and form submissions would not work. Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our site — however, you can set your browser to block them, though this will affect website functionality.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay, and where they arrive from. This data is aggregated and anonymised — it is used to improve the website and does not identify individual users.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Marketing & Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites for advertising purposes — enabling us to show relevant ads to people who have visited raghawmishra.com on other platforms such as Google and Facebook/Instagram.

These cookies are set by Google Ads and the Meta Pixel. They track whether you clicked on one of our ads, visited specific pages, or took certain actions — helping us measure ad effectiveness and reach relevant audiences.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation — such as remembering your preferences or form inputs. They may be set by us or by third-party service providers whose services we use on our pages.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we use. These third parties may use cookies to collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies:

We do not control the cookies set by third parties. Please refer to the relevant third-party privacy policies linked above for more information on how they use cookies and how you can opt out.
