  • – via tools like Google Analytics (pages viewed, time spent, etc.)

Cookie & Analytics Policy

Last updated: May 2025

Like most websites, Beer & Biriyani uses cookies to make things run smoothly, understand what readers love most (hint: it’s biriyani), and improve the experience for everyone.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some help the site work properly (like remembering if you closed a popup), and others help us understand how many people read a story, where they came from, or what device they’re using.

Analytics & Tracking

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site. This includes things like:

  • Which articles were read
  • What device or browser was used
  • Rough geographic location (e.g. city level)

This data helps us improve the content, design, and flow of our site. We do not collect personal info like your name or email through analytics.

Opting Out

If you’d rather not be tracked for analytics purposes, you can:

Third-Party Cookies

If you interact with embedded content (like YouTube videos or Instagram posts), those platforms may set their own cookies. We don’t control those – but you can manage them via your browser or check their privacy policies.

Questions?

Still hungry for clarity? Email us at hello@beerandbiriyani.com and we’ll try to help (or at least respond with a decent mango pun).

Just email us at hello@beerandbiriyani.com and we’ll help. We’ll also ask to verify it’s really you before changing anything.

Third-Party Tools

We use services like Google Analytics and MailerLite. These tools may collect anonymized usage data. They have their own privacy policies.

Data Security

We use secure tools and strong passwords to protect your data. No system is perfect, but we do our best to keep things safe.

Children’s Privacy

We don’t knowingly collect info from kids under 16. If that ever happens, let us know and we’ll delete it immediately.

Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Major changes will be noted in our newsletter or here. Keep checking if you’re curious.
