Nagarik Nepal: Know your Nepal
Effective Date: July 27, 2026 · Last Updated: July 27, 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as browser local storage (for example, to remember your cookie consent choice). Cookies let a site remember information about your visit, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful, and can also be used to understand how a site is used or to show relevant advertising.
2. The cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Remembering your cookie consent choice and basic site functionality (e.g., mobile menu state). | nn_cookie_consent (browser local storage, not a server cookie) |
No, these are essential to the site working as intended. |
| Analytics | Understanding which pages are read, roughly how many visitors we get, and which content is useful, via Google Analytics (gtag.js). | _ga, _ga_*, _gid |
Yes, in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Set only after you accept in the cookie banner in those regions; used by default elsewhere. |
| Advertising | Once our Google AdSense application is approved, showing and measuring ads, including, where you've consented, personalized ads based on your interests. | __gads, __gpi, IDE, test_cookie (set by Google/doubleclick.net) |
Yes, in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Personalized ad cookies elsewhere can be limited through Google's own controls (see Section 5). |
3. How consent works on this site
On your first visit, a banner at the bottom of the page asks you to accept all cookies or continue with strictly necessary cookies only. Your choice is stored in your browser (not tied to your identity) and is also passed to Google Analytics and Google's advertising tags via Google's Consent Mode, which tells Google whether it may use analytics and advertising cookies for your visit. If you choose “Necessary only,” analytics and advertising cookies are not set for that visit.
You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and site data for nagariknepal.xyz, which will show the banner again on your next visit.
4. Third parties
Analytics and (once approved) advertising cookies are set by Google, not by us directly. Google acts as an independent controller for this data under its own privacy terms:
5. Managing cookies yourself
- Use the cookie banner on this site to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Visit Google Ads Settings to see and control how Google personalizes ads across the web, including on this site.
- Visit aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu (EU visitors) for broader industry opt-outs from interest-based advertising.
- Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site behave, though the core directory and blog content will still work.
6. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes, for example once our AdSense application is approved and ads actually begin serving. The “Last Updated” date above will reflect any changes.
