This Cookies Policy explains how diariko.com uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with news, lifestyle and editorial content, search, subscriptions, user preferences, analytics, advertising, embedded content and related Website functions.
Cookies are small data files stored on or accessed from your browser or device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, device identifiers and comparable tools.
1. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
Purpose: Security, network management, consent choices, fraud/spam prevention, essential site operation and delivery of functions specifically requested by the user.
Typical control: Generally active by default where legally permitted because the Website may not function reliably without them.
Preferences and functionality
Purpose: Remember display preferences, language, light/dark mode, interface choices and other convenience settings.
Typical control: May be controlled through the consent interface or browser where required.
Analytics and performance
Purpose: Measure readership, traffic sources, page views, search usage, article engagement, errors, performance and aggregate audience behaviour.
Typical control: Used subject to applicable consent or other legal requirements.
Advertising and measurement
Purpose: Deliver or measure advertising, cap repetition, attribute traffic, assess campaign effectiveness and, where enabled, support personalised advertising.
Typical control: Subject to consent and opt-out rights where required.
Embedded and social content
Purpose: Enable videos, social posts, widgets or other third-party media and may allow those providers to recognise a browser or interaction.
Typical control: Often disabled until interaction or consent where required by law.
Security and anti-spam
Purpose: Identify malicious traffic, automated abuse, suspicious activity, spam and threats to the Website or users.
Typical control: May be treated as essential where necessary for security.
2. First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by the Website. Third-party cookies or similar identifiers may be set or read by providers that support analytics, advertising, embedded media, newsletters, security, content delivery or other Website functions.
Third-party providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies where they act independently.
3. Consent choices
Where the law requires prior consent for non-essential cookies, the Website will request a choice through a banner, preference centre or comparable mechanism.
You may accept or reject available categories and may change your choices later through the Website’s cookie settings. Consent withdrawal applies prospectively.
Necessary technologies may remain active where permitted because they are required to provide requested functions, preserve security or remember privacy choices.
4. Advertising and analytics choices
Where advertising or analytics technologies are enabled, your choices may affect whether identifiers are used for personalisation, cross-site measurement or targeted advertising.
Some privacy laws characterise certain advertising disclosures as sale, sharing or targeted advertising. Where applicable, you may use the Website’s privacy controls or recognised browser preference signals to exercise available opt-out rights.
5. Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow you to delete or block cookies, limit third-party storage and clear local data. Settings are generally browser- and device-specific.
Blocking all cookies can interfere with preferences, article features, embedded content, forms, subscription functions and other Website capabilities.
6. Cookie duration
Session cookies expire at or near the end of a browser session. Persistent cookies remain for a configured period or until removed. Duration depends on purpose, service provider and technical configuration.
The Website seeks to avoid retaining identifiers longer than reasonably necessary for their stated purpose, subject to security and legal needs.
7. Embedded content
When an article includes an external video, social post, map, audio player or other embedded feature, the external provider may set or read cookies when the content loads or when you interact with it.
Where technically feasible and legally required, such content may be blocked or limited until you choose to activate it.
8. Changes to the technologies used
The exact technologies and providers may change as the Website’s editorial, advertising and technical configuration evolves. Current consent controls and browser storage information provide additional real-time information about active technologies.
If a materially new purpose requires consent, the Website will request a new choice where required.
9. Contact
Questions about cookies or privacy choices may be submitted through the contact or privacy request mechanism available on diariko.com.
