This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on PAYATE News (news.payate.com), why they are used and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in a comparable way. They can be set by the website you visit (first-party) or by services that website uses (third-party).
What we use
| Type | Set by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Blogger (Google) | Operating and securing the website, handling comments and remembering your cookie-notice choice. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 (loaded through Google Tag Manager) | Counting visits and understanding, in aggregate, which articles are read and how visitors find them. |
| Advertising | Google AdSense and its partners | Showing ads, limiting how often you see the same ad, preventing ad fraud, measuring ad performance and, where allowed, personalizing ads. |
To keep pages fast, analytics and advertising scripts load after your first interaction with the page or after a short delay, rather than immediately.
Google's advertising cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Consent in the EU, UK and Switzerland
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will see a consent message. Where you do not consent to personalized advertising, Google serves non-personalized ads, which still use cookies for purposes such as frequency capping, fraud prevention and aggregated reporting.
How to control cookies
- Browser settings: you can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser. Articles will still work, but some features, such as remembering your cookie choice, may not.
- Personalized ads: manage them in Google Ad Settings, or opt out of participating vendors at aboutads.info (US) and youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
- Google Analytics: install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
More information about how Google uses cookies is available in Google's cookie policy.
