Analytics Cookies in Detail
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use Dhivox — which articles are popular, where readers come from, and how long they spend on the site. This helps us produce content that is genuinely useful.
Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time on page, approximate location (country and region — not your precise address), device type, and how you arrived at the site. This data is aggregated — we see trends across all visitors, not your individual behaviour.
We have configured Google Analytics with the following privacy settings:
- IP anonymisation enabled
- Data retention set to 14 months
- No data sharing with Google advertising products
- No Google Signals / advertising features enabled
How to Control or Opt Out of Cookies
Option 1 — Google Analytics Opt-Out (recommended)
Install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On. This prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites, not just Dhivox.
Option 2 — Browser Settings
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Instructions for major browsers:
Option 3 — Do Not Track
Most modern browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, Google Analytics will not set cookies on your visit.
