I believe in complete transparency. This website contains analytics tracking to help me understand how visitors interact with my portfolio. This document explains exactly what is collected, how it is stored, and what it is used for.
What Information Is Collected
When you visit this website, a custom-built analytics system automatically records specific technical details about your visit. I collect only the following data points:
- Page Visited:Which specific page URL you viewed (e.g., /pdf-editor).
- Timestamp:The exact date and time of your visit.
- Referrer:The website that linked you here (e.g., Google, Twitter, or Direct).
- Device Type:Whether you are using a Mobile, Tablet, or Desktop device.
- Screen Size:Your screen resolution (e.g., 1920x1080) to help check design responsiveness.
- Language:Your browser's preferred language setting (e.g., en-US).
- Timezone:Your local timezone (e.g., Asia/Kolkata).
Visitor Identification (The "Cookie")
To distinguish between a "new visitor" and a "returning visitor," this site saves a single item in your browser's Local Storage.
Key: visitor_id
Example Value: v_1704470000000_xy9z123
Important: This ID is randomly generated. It does not contain your name, email, IP address, or any personal information. It is simply a random tag used to count unique visitors. You can clear this at any time by clearing your browser's cache/storage.
Advertising & Monetization
To keep this portfolio and its tools (like the PDF Editor) free to use, I display advertisements provided by Monetag.
How Monetag Manages Data:
- Ad Delivery: Monetag uses your technical information (like device type, browser, and general location/IP) to deliver relevant ads.
- Cookies: They may use cookies or similar technologies to prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly and to measure ad performance.
- Anonymity: Monetag focuses on behavioral patterns and technical data rather than your personal identity.

Read Monetag's Privacy PolicyHow Data Is Stored
The analytics data is stored in a Supabase database.
- Access to the data is restricted.
- Only I (the site administrator) can view the aggregated dashboard.
- The database is protected by Row Level Security (RLS):
- Public users (you) have "Insert Only" permission (to record a view).
- Only Authenticated Admins (me) have "Read" permission (to see the stats).
Why Wait? No IP Address?
Most analytics tools collect your IP address to pinpoint your exact location. I do not collect IP addresses.
I respect your privacy. I am interested in "How many people visited from India?" (Timezone), not "Who specifically visited from this street address?" (IP Address).
