Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We use them to remember your preferences, measure traffic and show ads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work properly without them.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure how readers use the website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect usage data, which Google processes under its own privacy policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We show ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners show ads to you based on those visits.
You can turn off personalised ads in Google Ads Settings, and learn more about how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info.
Sponsored stories and paid product mentions are labelled. See our advertising page for our rules on paid content.
Embedded content and links
Stories may include embedded videos and posts from YouTube, Instagram, X and other platforms. These behave as if you visited that platform and may collect data or set cookies. Links to other websites are not covered by this policy.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the website (hosting, analytics, ads and spam protection), or when the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Messages sent through the contact form are kept as long as needed to reply and follow up. Comments and their details are kept while the comment is published. Analytics and ad data are kept as set by Google’s retention settings.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information you have shared with us, or withdraw consent, as provided under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Write to editor@thebuzzpedia.com and we will reply within a reasonable time.

Buzzpedia is meant for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you think a child has shared information with us, contact us and we will delete it.
