CHAPTER 01

What Are Cookies & Web Storage

Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed onto your computer, tablet, or mobile smartphone when you navigate websites. Alongside HTTP cookies, modern web platforms utilize HTML5 Local Storage and Session Storage to reliably preserve client-side configurations.

How NewsART24 Uses Digital Storage:

We utilize storage mechanisms to keep you logged in, preserve your preferred reading language (such as English, Kannada, or Hindi), remember whether you prefer dark or light mode, and verify that our real-time breaking news ticker syncs properly with backend updates.

CHAPTER 03

Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies

Necessary cookies maintain the integrity of user interactions. These tokens cannot be disabled through our consent manager as our web infrastructure cannot function securely without them.

CHAPTER 04

Multilingual & Regional Preference Storage

NewsART24 serves audiences across multiple linguistic regions. We store your chosen language code (e.g., en, kn,hi) and selected municipal edition in local storage so that the client navbar and City-Wise News section immediately render your preferred regional edition without requiring re-selection on every page.

CHAPTER 05

Analytical & Readership Performance

These cookies record aggregate metrics, such as which news investigations resonate most with readers, the proportion of readers visiting via mobile versus desktop devices, and whether multimedia photo galleries load efficiently. All telemetry is anonymized and aggregated before review.

CHAPTER 06

Contextual Advertising & Measurement

We coordinate with reputable direct sponsors to finance our field investigative bureaus. Advertising on NewsART24 is primarily contextual (based on the desk category of the story currently being read, such as Sports or Arts) rather than surveillance-based behavioral tracking.

CHAPTER 07

Third-Party Multimedia Embeds

When reporting on verified public statements or live press briefings, we may embed video players or social posts from external networks (such as YouTube, Vimeo, or X). Interacting with embedded players may cause third parties to set their own cookies according to their independent privacy policies.

CHAPTER 08

How to Manage & Revoke Consent

You maintain total autonomy to change or withdraw your consent at any moment. Simply scroll to Section 4 (“Interactive Consent & Cookie Manager”) at the top of this page to toggle your preferences and click“Save Preferences”.

CHAPTER 09

Browser Settings & Global Privacy Control (GPC)

All major modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Brave) provide built-in controls to block third-party cookies, clear cached site storage, or send automated Global Privacy Control (GPC)signals. NewsART24 honors universal GPC signals automatically.
