Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 October 2026
This page lists every cookie and browser-storage item shezadalikhan.com uses. In short, the site works without any cookies, and analytics cookies are only set if you click Accept analytics.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Local storage is similar, but it stays on your device and is never sent to the server. This site uses both, as listed below.
2. Always on: needed for the site to work
These two items are kept in your browser's local storage, not as cookies. They are never sent anywhere, and they do not need consent.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sak_cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so the banner does not reappear | Until you clear it |
theme | Remembers light or dark mode | Until you clear it |
3. Only with your consent: analytics
These cookies are set only after you click Accept analytics. They tell me which pages people read and where they get stuck. They are never used for advertising.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Random ID that tells visits apart | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current session | 2 years |
_clck | Microsoft Clarity | Random visitor ID | 1 year |
_clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Links page views in one session | 1 day |
CLID, MUID | Microsoft (on clarity.ms) | Clarity and Microsoft identifiers | Up to 1 year |
The Privacy Policy explains what Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity collect.
4. Third-party sites
This site has no embedded videos, social widgets or ad trackers. If you follow a link to WhatsApp, Cal.com, LinkedIn, YouTube or another site, that site may set its own cookies under its own policy.
5. Changing your choice
- Click Cookie settings in the footer of any page to bring the banner back and accept or decline again.
- If you decline after accepting, analytics stops loading from your next page view. To remove cookies already set, clear this site's cookies in your browser settings.
- You can also block cookies for all sites in your browser. The site still works if you do.
