4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use essential cookies to keep the site working, analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site, and advertising cookies to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it, for example for visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK and Switzerland, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, through the Google Site Kit plugin, to count visitors and see which pages they read. Google Analytics uses cookies and processes information such as your device, approximate location and pages viewed. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

6. Advertising, including Google AdSense

We may show advertisements served by Google and other advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised ads at www.aboutads.info or, in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu.

7. Embedded content and third-party links

Articles may include embedded videos, social media posts and links to other websites, including the news sources we cite. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, and that site may collect data about you. We are not responsible for other websites’ privacy practices, so please read their policies.

8. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share data only with service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting provider, analytics and advertising partners, and when the law requires it.

9. International transfers

Our service providers, such as Google, may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where the GDPR applies, these transfers rely on recognised safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

10. How long we keep data

Comments and their details are kept until they are deleted. Analytics data is kept according to our analytics retention settings. Emails are kept only as long as needed to deal with your message.

11. Your rights

Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland (GDPR)

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

You have the right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, to request deletion or correction, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. The use of advertising cookies for personalised ads may count as “sharing” under California law. You can opt out by adjusting your cookie settings, by using a Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, or by emailing us.

To make any privacy request, email hello@globalnews47.com. We may need to confirm your identity first, and we will reply within the time required by law.
