privacy policy.

Effective November 10, 2026

This policy explains what information cvam.sight (shivam2003.com, "the site", "I") handles when you visit. The site is a static blog: there are no user accounts, no comments, and no forms that collect personal data.

Information I collect

  • Standard server data. The hosting provider (Vercel) processes technical request data such as IP address, browser type and requested page in order to serve the site and keep it secure.
  • Aggregate analytics. I use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand which pages are read and how fast they load. These provide aggregate statistics and are not used to build advertising profiles.
  • Page-view counter. The site keeps a simple per-article view count. Your browser stores a small marker in local storage so the same browser is counted once per day per article.
  • Email you send me. If you email me, I receive your address and message and use them only to reply.

Cookies and local storage

The site itself uses your browser's local storage (not cookies) to remember reader settings (font, size, spacing, scrolling mode), whether ads are switched on or off, reading progress, and the view-counter marker described above. This data stays in your browser and can be cleared in your browser settings at any time.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

Article pages may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners are third-party vendors that use cookies and similar technologies:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this site or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
  • Learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
  • Where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), a consent message is shown before ads that use cookies or personal data are served.
  • Switch ads off on this site: open the reader settings (gear icon) on any article and set Ads to off. The choice is stored in your browser.

Ads are served on article pages; the settings switch above applies to them.

Embedded media and external links

Some conference articles embed YouTube videos using the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain. Playing a video may cause YouTube/Google to process data under their own policies. Articles also link to external sites that have their own privacy practices that I don't control.

How information is used

To operate and secure the site, measure which content is useful, show ads that support the site, and reply to messages. I do not sell personal information.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or similar laws), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, or to object to processing. The only personal data I hold directly is email correspondence; to request access or deletion, email shivam.sk2003@gmail.com. Data processed by Google or Vercel is handled under their own policies.

Children

The site is a general technical publication and is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy as the site changes. The effective date at the top shows when it was last revised.
