Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how PQR News uses cookies and similar technologies on pqrnews.com. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices available to you.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences over time, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return or move between pages. We also use related technologies such as pixels and local storage, which we refer to together as “cookies” here.

Cookies can be “session” cookies, which disappear when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which stay until they expire or you delete them. They can be set by us (“first-party”) or by our service providers (“third-party”).

How we use cookies

We use cookies to keep the site working properly, to remember your settings, to understand how readers use our journalism, and to keep the site secure. We do not use cookies to build sensitive profiles about you, and we do not sell information gathered through them.

Some cookies are essential — the site cannot function correctly without them. Others are optional and help us improve the experience. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies support core features such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off through our systems.

Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as region or display settings, to give you a more consistent experience.

Analytics cookies help us see which articles are read, how visitors move through the site, and where problems occur. This information is aggregated and used to improve our coverage. Any advertising or measurement partners we work with are expected to handle data responsibly and in line with their own policies.

Third-party cookies

Some features rely on outside services — for example, embedded video, social sharing tools, or analytics platforms. These providers may set their own cookies, which are governed by their privacy and cookie policies rather than ours. We encourage you to review those policies where relevant.

Managing your cookies

You are in control. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings, and to warn you before a cookie is stored. You can usually find these options in the “privacy” or “security” section of your browser’s menu.

Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of the site may not work as intended, and your preferences may not be remembered. Where we present a cookie banner or settings panel, you can also use that to adjust your consent for non-essential cookies at any time.

Changes and contact

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or the technologies we use change. The revision date at the foot of the page shows when it was last updated, and we encourage you to check back periodically.

If you have questions about how we use cookies, or about this policy, please contact our privacy team at privacy@pqrnews.com.
