The World News Herald Cookie Policy
Last edit: 12. April 2024
The World News Herald Cookie Policy page is a notice that explains how WNH uses cookies, which are small files that are stored on the user’s device. This notice explains what cookies WNH uses and what they are for.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are an essential part of web services, as they store information that enables the basic functions of the website, such as user-selected settings or login information. These cookies are essential for the website to function as expected and to enable the use of the service and a smooth user experience.
Since they are directly related to the technical operation of the website, they cannot be removed without significantly affecting the website’s functionality. Therefore, functional cookies cannot be managed or deleted from user settings in the same way as other types of cookies.
Service Analytics
Website administrators often use third-party tracking services, such as Google Analytics, to collect data about visitors. These services allow for the analysis of website traffic and the improvement of site performance. WNH also uses Google Analytics on its platform. This information can be used to gain a better understanding of how users interact with the site and which sections are most popular.
Third-party tracking services, such as Google Analytics, collect data in an anonymised format, such as IP addresses, browser information, and user activity on the site. This data helps administrators identify the strengths and weaknesses of the site and improve the user experience.
While users can generally manage cookies and prevent them from being stored in their browser settings, it is not always possible to directly delete cookies from third-party tracking services. This is because these cookies are essential for the operation and analytics of the site and are used on the basis of legitimate interests to effectively deliver and develop the site. Removing them could significantly impact site performance and user experience.
Other Cookies
WNH does not use services on its website that track users’ actions on an individual basis, such as targeting personalised advertising to visitors. User privacy is important to WNH, and while we do not offer a generally available “disable cookies” pop-up, this is because we do not use cookies that can be deleted or rejected without significantly affecting the user experience or development of the website.
Additional Considerations
Cookie Management: Most browsers have built-in tools for managing cookies. These tools allow users to view, allow, and block cookies. Instructions for managing cookies can usually be found in the browser’s settings or help center.
Privacy Settings: Browsers also have privacy settings that can affect how cookies are stored and used. Users can generally choose whether they want to allow third-party cookies, track website traffic, and block pop-ups.
Add-ons: There are also several add-ons that can help users manage cookies and improve privacy. These add-ons can, for example, block third-party cookies, automatically delete cookies, and allow users to manage cookie settings for individual websites.
