What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files that a website or external service may store in your browser. We also use browser local storage to remember your privacy preferences.
The Dzongpa Cultural Association is responsible for this website. Optional services remain blocked until you allow the relevant purpose.
Categories used

These remember your choice for six months and protect the contact form from automated submissions through hCaptcha. They cannot be disabled in the panel because they are required for security and consent management.

Google Analytics 4 provides aggregate statistics about visits and site use. It only loads if you allow this category. We do not enable advertising personalisation or Google Signals.
External content
Google Calendar displays the activities and pujas calendars. The Google iframe does not load until you allow this category or select “Show calendar”.

Fonts are served from our own domain; no requests are made to third-party servers to load them.
How to change or withdraw consent
Open the panel from “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page. Accepting and rejecting are equally easy, and you can change each purpose separately.
When you withdraw a category, the page reloads to stop the service. You can also clear cookies and local storage from your browser settings.
Your choice expires after six months. We will then ask again. If this policy or the services change materially, we may ask you to choose again sooner.
