This Cookie Policy explains how GlobePrism and our partners use cookies and similar technologies such as browser local storage, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, do the same job. They can be “first-party” (set by the site you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by another company, such as an advertiser).
What we store on your device (first-party)
These items stay in your browser's local storage and are never sent to our servers. They exist only to make the site work the way you want.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| gp-theme | Remembers your light or dark theme choice | Until you clear it |
| gp-fs | Remembers your article text-size setting | Until you clear it |
| gp-saved | Your list of saved stories (kept only on your device) | Until you clear it |
| gp-consent | Remembers your cookie choice, if the site's own consent banner is shown | Until you clear it |
Third-party cookies
| Provider | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense / DoubleClick | Serving and measuring ads, limiting how often you see an ad, and (with your consent where required) personalising ads | Advertising |
| Google Analytics (if enabled) | Anonymous statistics on how the site is used | Analytics |
| Google consent management | Storing your consent choice for visitors in Europe, the UK and Switzerland | Consent |
| YouTube (privacy-enhanced mode) | Only set if you choose to play an embedded video | Embedded media |
The exact cookie names and lifetimes are set by these providers and can change; see their policies, including How Google uses cookies.
Your choices
- Consent banner and privacy choices. Where the law requires it, you will be asked for consent before personalised ads or analytics cookies are used. Use the “Privacy choices” link in the footer to review or change your choice at any time.
- Personalised ads. Manage them at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many ad networks at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
- Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and site data. See your browser's help pages. Blocking all cookies may affect how some features work, but the news is still readable.
- Global Privacy Control / Do Not Track. You can enable browser or extension signals that ask sites not to sell or share your data; we honour them where the law requires.
