Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 22, 2026   |   Last Updated: April 22, 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data GTMonly collects from visitors, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over it.

GTMonly is operated by Pushpendu Mazumder, an independent publishing business. This policy applies to all visitors of www.gtmonly.com, including readers, newsletter subscribers, and anyone who contacts us.

By using this site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

1. What Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: data you give us directly and data collected automatically when you use the site.

Information You Provide

We collect personal information only when you choose to give it to us. This happens in two situations.

When you subscribe to the GTMonly newsletter, we collect your email address. When you contact us through a form or by email, we collect your name and email address along with the message you send.

We do not ask for payment information, addresses, or phone numbers. We collect only what we need.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit GTMonly, certain technical data is collected automatically. This is standard for all websites.

This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed on this site, and the time and date of your visit.

This data is collected by our hosting provider and by Google Analytics. It helps us understand how people use our site so we can improve it.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

GTMonly uses cookies. A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help sites recognise returning visitors and track usage patterns.

We use three categories of cookies on this site.

Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics places cookies to track how visitors use GTMonly. This includes pages visited, time spent on the site, and how you arrived. This data is aggregated and anonymised. It does not identify you as an individual.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Advertising Cookies

GTMonly uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense places cookies on your device to serve ads that are relevant to you, based on your browsing history across sites.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on GTMonly. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings: adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out at

You can also opt out through the Network Advertising Initiative at: optout.networkadvertising.org.

Functional Cookies

WordPress, the platform GTMonly runs on, uses functional cookies to manage basic site operations and user sessions. These cookies do not track browsing behaviour.

How to Control Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies at any time.

Be aware that disabling cookies may affect how parts of this site function. Some features may not work as expected without cookies enabled.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect for the following purposes only.

• To send you the GTMonly newsletter, if you have subscribed.
• To respond to messages and enquiries you send us.
• To analyse and improve site content and user experience using aggregated analytics data.
• To serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense.
• To maintain the technical security and performance of this site.
• To comply with any applicable legal obligations.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not build personal profiles on individual visitors.

4. Data Sharing

GTMonly does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. That is a firm commitment, not a legal formality.

We share data in three limited situations only.

Service Providers

We work with a small number of third-party services to operate this site. These include Hostinger for web hosting, Google for analytics and advertising, and our email service provider for the newsletter. Each of these parties processes data on our behalf under their own privacy policies.

These providers are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes beyond the service they provide to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or government authority. We will only share the minimum information necessary to comply.

Business Continuity

If GTMonly is transferred, merged, or sold as a business, your data may transfer to the new operator. We will notify you via email or a notice on this site before that happens.

5. Google Analytics

GTMonly uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use this site.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this site is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the site, compile reports on site activity, and provide other services relating to site activity and internet usage.

You can read Google’s full privacy policy at: policies.google.com/privacy.

6. Google AdSense

GTMonly displays advertisements served by Google AdSense, an advertising programme operated by Google LLC. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to collect data and serve relevant ads.

Google may use the data collected to personalise the ads shown to you based on your visits to GTMonly and other websites. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to websites.

GTMonly does not have access to or control over the cookies placed by Google. These are governed entirely by Google’s own policies.

To learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites, visit: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

7. Affiliate Links

Some links on GTMonly are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase or sign-up on the destination site, that third-party site may place its own tracking cookies on your device.

These cookies are set by the affiliate programme operator, not by GTMonly. We do not have access to the data collected by affiliate tracking cookies.

We earn a commission when qualifying purchases are made through our affiliate links. This comes at no cost to you. All affiliate relationships are disclosed in accordance with FTC guidelines.

8. Newsletter and Email Communications

If you subscribe to the GTMonly newsletter, we store your email address for the sole purpose of sending you our publication.

In accordance with the CAN-SPAM Act, we commit to the following for all email communications.

• We never use false or misleading subject lines or sender addresses.
• We identify all commercial emails clearly.
• We include an unsubscribe link in every email we send.
• We honour unsubscribe requests promptly, within 10 business days.
• We do not share or sell subscriber email lists to any third party.

To unsubscribe, click the link at the bottom of any GTMonly email or contact us directly.

9. Third-Party Websites

GTMonly links to external websites and tools throughout its content. Clicking these links takes you away from GTMonly and onto sites with their own privacy practices.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party website. We recommend reading the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy.

Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months. Analytics data is retained per Google’s standard retention policies. Server logs are retained per Hostinger’s standard policies.

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

12. Children’s Privacy

GTMonly is a professional B2B publication intended for adults aged 18 and over.

13. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

This site runs on HTTPS with SSL encryption. Our hosting provider maintains server-level security. We use strong passwords and access controls for all administrative accounts.

No system is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you within 7 business days by email if we have your contact information.

14. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal to websites. GTMonly currently does not respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no agreed industry standard for how to handle them.

You can manage your tracking preferences through your browser settings and via the Google opt-out tools described in Section 2.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page.

If changes are significant, we will notify newsletter subscribers by email. Continuing to use GTMonly after an update means you accept the revised policy.
