Cookie Policy — Safiul Basher

This Cookie Policy explains how Safiul Basher (“I”, “me”, “my”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://www.safiulbasher.co.uk (the “Website”). It describes what these technologies are, why I use them, and the choices you have to control them.

In some cases I may use cookies to collect information that becomes personal information when combined with other data. For more on how I handle personal data, please see my Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They’re widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide reporting information. Similar technologies — such as browser local storage, pixels and embedded scripts — can serve the same purposes. In this policy I refer to all of these simply as “cookies”.

Why I use cookies

I keep cookie use to a minimum. Some cookies are necessary for the Website to function and to remember your privacy choices. Others are optional and are only set if you agree — these help me understand how the Website is used, and allow embedded content such as videos to work.

Types of cookies I use

Essential. Required for the Website to work and to store your cookie choice. These don’t track you and can’t be switched off. The only essential storage this site uses is a small entry that records whether you accepted or declined optional cookies.
Analytics (optional). If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies (for example _ga and _gid) to measure visits and understand, in aggregate, how the Website is used. These are only set after you choose “Allow All”.
Embedded content (optional). Some pages may include embedded media such as YouTube or Vimeo videos. When loaded with your consent, these providers may set their own cookies. They are only loaded after you accept.

How to control cookies

When you first visit, a banner lets you Allow All or Decline All. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookies Preferences” link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings — see the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Please note that blocking essential storage may affect how the Website works.

Changes to this policy

I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies I use or for legal reasons. The “last updated” date shown on the screen above indicates when it was last revised.
