What Cookies This Site Uses

mdfarukkhan.com uses a minimal set of cookies. This site does not run advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking cookies. The cookies active on this site fall into two categories.

Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled because without them, core parts of the site stop working correctly.

No personal data is stored in strictly necessary cookies on this site.

Category 2: Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the site. This helps improve content, page structure, and the overall experience for future visitors.

Google Analytics 4 sets the following cookies:

What Google Analytics collects through these cookies:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• The source that referred you to this site (Google search, direct, social media, etc.)
• Your approximate geographic location based on IP address (country and city level only)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Whether you are a new or returning visitor

Google Analytics data is processed by Google. Google's privacy policy governs how that data is handled on their end. You can review it at google.com/policies/privacy.

Category 3: Third-Party Cookies (Calendly)

When you use the Calendly booking widget embedded on this site to schedule a strategy call, Calendly may set its own cookies on your device. These cookies are controlled by Calendly, not by mdfarukkhan.com.

Calendly cookies are only active when you interact with the booking widget. They are used by Calendly to manage the scheduling session and remember your preferences during the booking process.

Calendly's cookie and privacy practices are governed by Calendly's own privacy policy, available at calendly.com/privacy.

How to Control Cookies

You have full control over cookies on your device. Here are your options.

Your cookie preference is stored so you are not asked again on every visit. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
