Cookie Policy
Last updated: 19 July, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how WNEWS 247 (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on wnews247.com (the “Site”).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, and to provide information to site owners about how the site is used.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly (for example, remembering basic site settings). They do not require consent under most cookie laws.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are read, how long visitors stay, and how they found us. Google Analytics cookies may include:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique users | Up to 2 years |
_ga_* | Persists session state | Up to 2 years |
_gid | Distinguishes unique users | 24 hours |
This data is aggregated and used only to improve the Site; we do not use it to identify you personally.
2.3 Affiliate & Advertising Cookies
Where the Site includes affiliate links or advertising placements, our affiliate and advertising partners may set their own cookies to:
- Attribute a purchase or action back to a link on our Site
- Measure ad performance
- Limit how often the same ad is shown to you
These cookies are set and controlled by the relevant third-party partner, not by WNEWS 247 directly, and are governed by that partner’s own privacy and cookie policies rather than this one.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Because we use Google Analytics and may run affiliate links or advertising placements, third parties may set cookies as described above. Each third party’s use of information collected is governed by its own privacy policy. Google’s policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Options generally include:
- Blocking all cookies
- Blocking third-party cookies only
- Deleting cookies when you close your browser
- Opting out of Google Analytics specifically via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
Note that blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the Site function, including affiliate link tracking.
Browser-specific guidance:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
5. Changes to This Policy
We will update this Cookie Policy if the cookies we use change — for example, as we add specific affiliate or advertising partners. The “Last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision.
