Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 November 2026
Cookies are small text files saved by the browser, as is local storage. The Yalla Khotwa website divides them into necessary ones that always run, and analytics ones that run only with consent. We use no advertising cookies.
1. Essential cookies
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| khotwa-consent | Local storage | Saves the choice about analytics cookies | 12 months |
| khotwa_lang | Cookie | Saves the chosen display language | 1 year |
| wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_* | Cookie | Member sign-in; not created for visitors | Session or 14 days |
| wordpress_test_cookie, wp-settings-* | Cookie | Supports sign-in and account preferences | Session or year |
2. Analytics cookies (with consent only)
When Google Analytics 4 is enabled through Google Tag Manager, the following cookies may be used to measure visits in aggregate. They are not created if consent is refused or before a choice is made.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors anonymously to count visits | Two years |
| _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Stores the session state to measure engagement with pages | Two years |
Google Search Console places no files on the device; it relies on aggregated search data held by Google.
3. Controlling the choice
- Accept or refuse from the notice shown on the first visit; both buttons carry equal weight.
- Change the choice at any time from the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.
- Delete or block cookies from the browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies does not affect browsing member profiles.
4. Updates
When we add any new tool that uses cookies, we update this page before enabling it, and non-essential tools run only with consent. Contact: info@yallakhotwa.com.
