Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 5, 2026

Overview

CurrentTimeIn ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at https://currenttimein.net . This privacy policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We are committed to collecting only what is necessary to operate the service and to being transparent about our practices.

Data We Collect

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use this site. GA4 collects:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • General geographic location (country, region, not precise location)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system
  • How you arrived at the site (search, direct, referral)
  • Session and engagement metrics (bounce rate, session duration)

We have configured GA4 with IP anonymization enabled. Your full IP address is not stored or processed by Google Analytics. GA4 data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted.

Cookies

We use the following cookies:

  • _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics): First-party cookies set by GA4 to distinguish visitors. These persist for 2 years. They contain a randomly generated client ID with no personally identifiable information.
  • email-popup-shown (sessionStorage): A sessionStorage item (not a cookie) set to track whether you have seen the email capture popup this session. It expires when you close your browser tab. No data is sent to any server.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party cookies for behavioral targeting.

Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. We use this address only to send the newsletter you signed up for. We do not sell, share, or rent email addresses to third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any newsletter email.

Third-Party Links and Affiliate Links

This site may contain affiliate links to travel services in the future. When present, these will be clearly marked with rel="sponsored" or disclosed inline. We receive no commission from any third party at this time.

Display Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. We do not share any personally identifiable information with Google AdSense beyond what is collected by the GA4 analytics described above. Ad revenue helps keep this service free.

  • Understand which pages and features are most useful to visitors
