Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 20, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on rahimov.dev (the "Website"), operated by Rahimov Development / Rahimov.Dev. It supplements the Privacy Policy.
This policy reflects the requirements of the EU GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet, Article 11.7a — the "cookie provision").
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and measure usage. This policy also applies to similar technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, tracking pixels, and web beacons.
2. How I Use Cookies
This Website uses a minimal set of cookies, grouped into two categories:
2.1 Strictly necessary (no consent required)
These cookies are required for basic functionality and are exempt from consent under Article 11.7a(3) of the Dutch Telecommunicatiewet.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ragmon_cookie_consent | This site | Stores your cookie-banner preference (accepted / declined) | localStorage | 365 days |
2.2 Analytics (consent required)
These cookies are loaded only after you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. Declining keeps them disabled. You can withdraw consent at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google LLC | Distinguishes unique visitors for Google Analytics 4 | HTTP cookie | 2 years |
_ga_<CONTAINER-ID> | Google LLC | Maintains session state for GA4 | HTTP cookie | 2 years |
Provider responsibility. The analytics cookies above are set by Google LLC (and, for EEA/UK/Swiss users, Google Ireland Limited) as a separate (joint) controller/processor. The handling of data collected through these cookies — including storage, retention, and any international transfer — is governed by Google's own terms and privacy documents:
- Google Privacy Policy
- How Google uses cookies
- How Google uses data from partner sites
- Google Analytics Terms of Service
- Safeguarding your Google Analytics data
- Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on — to opt out across all sites
2.3 What I do NOT use
- No advertising cookies or ad personalisation pixels (no Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, etc.).
- No cross-site tracking beyond Google Analytics.
- No A/B-testing tools that set cookies.
- No session-replay tools.
3. Managing Your Consent
You can manage your consent in two ways:
- Via the cookie banner that appears on your first visit.
- At any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer, which reopens the banner so you can change your choice.
You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Here are the official help pages:
4. Changes to This Policy
I may update this Cookie Policy when new tools are added or existing ones change. Substantive changes will be accompanied by a new consent request via the banner.
