Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how RishiWrites uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser storage and tracking scripts) on rishiwrites.com, and how you can control them. For more information about how we handle personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember your preferences, keep features working and understand how the website is used. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage and scripts, can be used for the same purposes.

2. Cookies and Technologies We Use

Strictly necessary and security

• WordPress: sets cookies needed for site administrators who log in to manage the website. Most visitors do not receive these cookies.
• Google reCAPTCHA: used on our contact form to protect it from spam and abuse. Google may set cookies (such as _GRECAPTCHA) and collect device and browser information for this purpose.

Analytics

• Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Site Kit and Google Tag Manager, helps us understand how visitors use the website, such as pages viewed, links and buttons clicked, time on site, approximate location and device type. It sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_<ID>, which can last up to two years.

Functional and third-party features

• Chatbase chat widget: provides the chat assistant on our website and may use cookies or browser storage to keep the conversation and widget working.
• Google Fonts: fonts are loaded from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address. This does not require us to set cookies.
• Social sharing buttons: the share links on our pages open LinkedIn, Facebook, X (Twitter), WhatsApp or Gmail. Those services may set their own cookies once you visit them.

Advertising

We do not currently display advertising on this website or use advertising cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the website and its features working securely
• Protect our contact form from spam
• Analyze website traffic and trends so we can improve our content
• Provide the chat assistant

4. Your Choices and Consent

Our website does not currently display a cookie consent banner, so analytics and third-party cookies may be set when a page loads. You can control cookies in the following ways:

• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
• Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to stop Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits.

Please note that blocking cookies may affect some features, such as the contact form security check or the chat assistant.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies placed by third-party services (such as Google and Chatbase) are governed by those providers’ own privacy and cookie policies, including the Google Privacy Policy.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the tools we use change. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
