Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. This Cookie Policy explains which cookies Tech News Xplore uses, what each one does, how long it stays, and exactly how to control it.
1. The cookies we use
1.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the Site working: your cookie consent choice itself, comment form conveniences (if you opt to save your name and email, these last up to one year), and security tokens. The Site cannot function without them, and they are not used for tracking. Retention: session to one year.
1.2 Audience measurement cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand which articles readers value, in aggregate: pages viewed, time on page, approximate region. We use this to decide what to cover more and what to cover better. Retention: up to thirteen months. These are only set if you accept cookies in our banner.
1.3 Advertising cookies
Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other sites on the Internet, as detailed in our Privacy Policy. Retention is set by the vendor and is typically up to thirteen months. These are only set after consent where the law requires it.
2. Our consent banner
On your first visit, a banner at the bottom of the screen offers two clear choices: Accept cookies or Decline cookies. Your choice is stored on your device. Declining blocks non-essential cookies; the Site works fully either way.
2.1 How to change your choice
To change your decision at any time, clear this site’s data in your browser (or clear local storage for technewsxplore.com) and reload any page: the banner will appear again and you can choose differently. Declining cookies never blocks access to our content.
3. Disabling cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies entirely:
3.1 Google Chrome
Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies. Choose “Block third-party cookies” or “Block all cookies”, or clear existing cookies under “See all site data and permissions”.
3.2 Mozilla Firefox
Settings, then Privacy and Security. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection choose Strict or Custom to block cookies, and use “Manage Data” to delete stored cookies per site.
3.3 Apple Safari
Settings (or Preferences), then Privacy. Enable “Block all cookies”, or use “Manage Website Data” to remove cookies for specific sites.
3.4 Microsoft Edge
Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data. You can block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear cookies per site.
4. Third party advertising cookies and official opt-outs
Advertising partners operating on the Site may set their own cookies. You can opt out of personalized advertising through the official industry portals: Google Ads Settings, Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out and Network Advertising Initiative opt-out. European visitors can also use Your Online Choices.
