Privacy policy

Effective October 17, 2026.

This policy explains how Balodia Tech handles information on this technology journal. The site publishes articles and provides browser-based search. It does not offer reader accounts, comments, a newsletter, payments or a public contact form.

Reading and searching

Public articles, fonts and images are served with the site. Search runs in your browser against the public article index; the search box does not send your query to a search service. Ordinary requests still reach our hosting provider, which may process IP addresses, request paths, browser information and timestamps to deliver the site and protect its systems. Hosting-log retention depends on the hosting account and provider settings.

Google Analytics and consent

On the published site, Google Analytics helps us understand aggregate use, such as which guides people read and the devices they use. We use advanced Consent Mode: on a first visit the Google tag loads with analytics and advertising storage denied. Before you choose, limited cookieless measurement and consent signals can be sent to Google. These requests still disclose network information needed to communicate with Google; cookieless does not mean no information is sent.

Select “Accept analytics cookies” to allow analytics storage, or “Reject analytics” to disable analytics entirely for this browser. A remembered rejection also blocks the tag on later visits. Reading the site does not require acceptance. Design and release previews and the administration area are not tracked.

Analytics can process page and device information, browser identifiers and approximate location derived by Google from network information. Our page-view implementation omits query strings and fragments from page locations and sends only the origin of a referring site. It does not intentionally send names, email addresses or search-box text. Advertising storage, Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled in this integration.

Google processes analytics information on its infrastructure, which may be outside your country. Its handling and retention also depend on the Analytics property settings and Google’s privacy policy. See how Google uses information from partner sites.

Your analytics choice

Use “Analytics preferences” in the footer to accept or reject analytics, or to withdraw a previous choice. We store that preference in this browser’s local storage for up to 180 days. It is a preference record, not an advertising identifier. If storage is unavailable, the choice may not be remembered after the page closes or reloads. A new visit without a remembered choice starts with cookieless measurement and analytics storage denied.

After you opt in, this integration configures first-party analytics cookies with a Balodia prefix and an expiry of up to 180 days. Withdrawing consent disables measurement, clears those site cookies and reloads the page to stop the loaded Google runtime. Requests already sent cannot be recalled. You can also clear site data through your browser settings; this resets your saved preference.

Administration and security

A private content-management area is used by the site’s administrator. It uses an essential session cookie for sign-in and security checks. Authentication attempts and administrative events are recorded for security. These controls do not create reader accounts or enable public tracking.

Links and information you share

Articles link to external documentation and services. Following a link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices. External videos, social widgets and advertising scripts are not embedded by this site. Please do not send passwords, identity documents or other sensitive information through article links or analytics tools.

Questions and changes

For privacy questions or requests, email contact@balodia.com. The Contact page explains what to include. If you email us, we receive your address and whatever you choose to send, and use that information to handle your enquiry. Our email provider also processes the message to deliver and store it. We do not use enquiries to subscribe you to marketing. Please send only what is needed; avoid sensitive attachments.

We will update this policy and its effective date when the site’s data practices materially change. Any privacy rights available to you depend on the laws that apply to your situation.
