1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past actions.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
To deliver "real-time" news effectively, we use cookies for several reasons:
Authentication: To keep you logged into your account.
Performance: To ensure our live feeds and breaking news alerts load instantly.
Personalization: To remember your language preferences and the news categories you follow most.
Analytics: To understand which news stories are trending and how users navigate our site.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies into four groups:
| Category | Description | Necessity |
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for the website to function (e.g., security, load balancing). | Required |
| Functional | Remembers your settings, such as "Dark Mode" or specific news filters. | Optional |

4. Third-Party Cookies & 2026 Standards
Following the 2026 industry standards, Real Time News Analysis has significantly reduced reliance on third-party tracking.
First-Party Priority: Most of our data is "First-Party," meaning it stays within our ecosystem to protect your privacy.
Cookieless Advertising: We primarily use contextual signals (the topic of the news article) rather than cross-site tracking to fund our journalism.

Additionally, most browsers allow you to:
Block third-party cookies in settings.
