Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Amarnepal (“we”, “us”), operator of amarnepal.com (the “Site”), collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Amarnepal is an independent information site; it is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal.

Information we collect

We do not ask you to create an account and we do not knowingly collect personal information you type in. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically receive standard technical data when you visit — such as your approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, pages viewed, and referring links — collected through cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to understand how the Site is used and, where applicable, to display advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the Site may work less smoothly without them. See aboutcookies.org for general guidance.

Advertising — Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu. For more on how Google uses data, see Google’s “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services” page. Where required (for example, for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), we present a consent message so you can accept or decline personalised advertising.

Analytics — Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate, anonymous usage so we can improve the Site. It sets cookies and processes data such as pages viewed and general location. You can prevent this with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. See the Google Privacy Policy for how Google handles data.

How we use information

We use the data described above only to operate, measure and improve the Site and to fund it through advertising. We do not sell your personal information.

Data retention

Analytics and advertising data are retained by our providers (Google) according to their own retention policies and the settings we configure. We do not maintain our own database of visitor personal information.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or similar laws), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. Because we do not hold a personal database, most requests relate to the cookies set by Google; you can exercise those choices through the opt-out links above, or contact us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Site or the law changes. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above.
