Analytics: Google Analytics 4
Real Cinema Ghar uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google (property ID G-XHJG4SEV2D), to see which pages people visit, how they arrive (for example from a search engine) and what kind of device and browser they use. This helps us decide what to write and fix problems. We use it only on the public site, not in our editorial admin area.
We use Google’s “Consent Mode”, which works like this:
- Before you choose, or if you click “Reject”: the Google Analytics script still loads, but it does not set or read analytics cookies. Google may receive basic, cookieless signals (for example that a page was viewed, your browser type and your consent choice), which Google uses in aggregate.
- If you click “Accept analytics”: Google Analytics sets its cookies (named
_gaand_ga_<ID>). Google documents these as lasting up to 2 years. They let Analytics recognise repeat visits from the same browser.
Google says Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. It derives approximate location (such as country or city) from them. Event-level data is kept for the retention period configured in our Analytics account (Google’s default is 2 months). Through Consent Mode we tell Google that advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalisation are not permitted. Google’s own handling is described in its Privacy Policy.
Your consent choice
Your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage (under the name rcg_analytics_consent_v1) for 12 months, so we don’t ask on every page. After 12 months, or if you clear your browser data, we ask again. If you withdraw consent, we stop analytics cookies and remove the existing Google Analytics cookies from your browser.
Essential cookies and technologies
- Hosting and security: our hosting and network provider (Cloudflare) may use strictly necessary technical mechanisms to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
- Editorial admin sign-in: RCG staff who sign in to our admin area receive a session cookie (
rcg_admin). It is not set for readers.
These are needed for the site to work securely and do not require consent.
Not used today
- Advertising cookies (for example Google AdSense). If we introduce ads, we will update this page and our Privacy Policy first, and ask for consent where required.
- Affiliate-tracking cookies. If an article ever contains affiliate links, they will be labelled, and following one takes you to the partner’s site, where its own cookie policy applies.
- Social-media widgets or embeds. Links to our social accounts take you to those services, and their own cookie policies then apply.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking Google Analytics cookies does not affect how the site works for you.
