Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 8 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies newsmy.online uses, and how you can manage your preferences. It applies to all visitors to the Site regardless of location.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, or browsing preferences. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other data on your device.

Some cookies are set directly by newsmy.online ("first-party cookies"). Others may be set by third-party services embedded on the page ("third-party cookies").

Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, we rely on user consent (obtained via our cookie banner) or legitimate interest, as appropriate to each category.
