If you have ever noticed a small banner at the bottom or top of a website asking whether you accept cookie, you already have a general idea of what this page is about. This Cookie Policy explains exactly what cookie are, which cookie this website uses, why they are used, and what control you have over them.
This is not written to confuse you with legal jargon. It is written to give you a genuine, transparent understanding of how therizwankhan.com uses cookie so you can make informed decisions about your experience on this site.
By continuing to use therizwankhan.com after reading this policy, you are agreeing to the use of cookie as described below. If you do not agree, you are free to adjust your browser settings or leave the site — and instructions on how to manage cookie are included further down this page.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — whether that is a computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit it. These files are stored locally on your device and help the website recognize you on return visits, remember your preferences, and understand how you are interacting with the site.
Think of cookies as a website’s way of taking notes. Instead of starting completely fresh every time you visit, the site can remember certain things about your last visit and use that information to serve you better.
Cookies themselves do not contain viruses, malware, or any harmful code. They are simple data files. They cannot read other files on your device or access your personal accounts. What they can do is help websites work more efficiently and give website owners useful information about how their content is being used.
Cookies are set either by the website you are visiting directly — these are called first-party cookies — or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics platforms or advertising networks.
Types of Cookies Used on This Website
Not all cookies do the same thing. Below is a clear breakdown of the different types of cookies used on therizwankhan.com and the specific purpose each one serves.
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are the foundational cookies that keep this website functioning properly. Without them, certain features simply would not work — things like page navigation, form submissions, and access to secure areas of the site.
These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or tracking purposes. They exist purely to make the website operational. Because they are essential to the site’s basic function, they are always active and cannot be switched off.
Examples of what these cookies handle:
- Remembering your cookie consent preference so you are not asked repeatedly
- Keeping your session active while you navigate between pages
- Ensuring contact forms and inquiry submissions work correctly
2. Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help understand how visitors use this website. They collect information about which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, where traffic is coming from, and whether visitors encounter any errors while browsing.
All data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized. This means the information is about patterns and trends — not about you as an individual. No personally identifiable information is stored or shared through these cookies.
Google Analytics is the primary analytics tool used on this website. It collects data such as:
- The pages you visit and the order in which you visit them
- The amount of time you spend on each page
- The device, browser, and operating system you are using
- Your approximate geographic location (country or city level — not your precise address)
- The website or source that referred you to therizwankhan.com
This information is used solely to improve the website — to understand what content is resonating with readers, where improvements are needed, and how the overall user experience can be made better.
If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
3. Advertising and Targeting Cookies
This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense uses cookies — including the Google DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads that are relevant and useful to you based on your interests and browsing activity across the internet.
These cookies track your visits to this website and other websites to build a profile of your interests and then display advertisements that match those interests. This type of advertising is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.
The data collected through advertising cookies is managed by Google, not by this website directly. Rizwan Khan does not have access to the individual-level data that Google collects through these cookies.
You have several options when it comes to advertising cookies:
- Opt out of personalized ads by visiting https://www.google.com/settings/ads
- Opt out of third-party advertising cookies by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.youronlinechoices.com
- Manage your Google account’s ad settings at https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy
Opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements on this website. It means the ads you see will no longer be tailored to your interests and will instead be more generic.
4. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide a more personalized experience. They are not strictly necessary for the website to work, but they make the browsing experience more convenient and relevant.
Examples include:
- Remembering your preferred language or region settings
- Storing your preferences so you do not have to reset them on every visit
- Recognizing whether you are a returning visitor and adjusting the content display accordingly
These cookies do not track your activity on other websites and are not used for advertising purposes.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some content embedded on therizwankhan.com comes from external services and platforms. When these elements are loaded on the page, those third-party services may place their own cookies on your device. This website does not control these cookies and is not responsible for them.
Third-party cookies may be set by services such as:
- YouTube — when video content from YouTube is embedded on a page, YouTube may set cookies to track video views and user interaction
- Social media platforms — sharing buttons or embedded feeds from platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Twitter may set their own cookies
- Affiliate networks — when you click on an affiliate link, the affiliate network may set cookies to track the referral and attribute any resulting purchase
- Font and script providers — tools like Google Fonts or other CDN-hosted resources may set performance-related cookies
For information on how these third parties use cookies, you are encouraged to visit their respective privacy and cookie policies.
Cookie Consent
When you first visit therizwankhan.com, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice. This notice gives you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- If you accept all cookies, all cookie categories described in this policy will be active during your visit
- If you decline non-essential cookies, only strictly necessary cookies will be used
- You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, or through your browser settings
Your cookie preference is stored as a cookie itself so that you are not repeatedly asked to make the same choice on every visit.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies are not all the same when it comes to how long they stay on your device. There are two main types based on duration:
Session Cookies — These cookies are temporary. They exist only for the duration of your browsing session and are automatically deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are typically used for things like keeping your session active while you navigate the site.
Persistent Cookies — These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time even after you close your browser. They are activated again the next time you visit the website. The duration varies depending on the specific cookie — some may last a few days, others may last up to two years. Persistent cookies are commonly used for analytics, advertising, and preference-saving purposes.
Below is a general overview of cookie lifespans relevant to this website:
| Cookie Type | Provider | Approximate Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie Consent | therizwankhan.com | 1 year |
| Google Analytics (_ga) | 2 years | |
| Google Analytics (_gid) | 24 hours | |
| Google Analytics (_gat) | 1 minute | |
