1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website or service may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website.

Cookies may help websites remember preferences, maintain certain functions, understand how visitors use pages, and support advertising services.

Cookies are generally classified as first-party or third-party cookies.

First-party cookies are set by the website you visit or by services operating on its behalf.

Third-party cookies are set by a domain or service other than the website you are directly visiting. They may be used by integrated services such as advertising providers, analytics providers, or embedded content platforms.

The cookies used on MinutePulseNews depend on the website's configuration and the third-party services enabled at the time of your visit.

2. Types of Cookies

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies may be required to provide essential website functions, maintain security, or support services you have requested.

Without certain necessary cookies, some website features may not work properly. Where applicable law permits strictly necessary cookies to operate without consent, they may be used for those essential purposes.

2.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember preferences or settings to help provide a more consistent browsing experience.

For example, a service may use them to remember certain preferences or settings. Whether these cookies are used depends on the features available on the website.

2.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies may help website operators understand how visitors use a website, including which pages receive visits and whether technical problems occur.

If analytics services are enabled on MinutePulseNews, they may process information such as page views, approximate location derived from technical information, browser type, device information, and interactions with pages.

This information may help us understand website performance and improve the visitor experience.

2.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

If advertising services such as Google AdSense are enabled, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, limit, or personalise advertisements.

Depending on the provider's settings and applicable requirements, these technologies may help determine which advertisements are shown or measure advertising performance.

Personalised advertising may involve the processing of information about browsing activity across websites or services. Visitors may have rights to manage or opt out of certain advertising-related processing under applicable privacy laws.

2.5 Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them. They may allow a service to remember certain information between visits.

The duration of a cookie depends on the service that sets it and its configuration.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, certain services may use similar technologies, depending on how they are configured.

These may include:

Pixels and web beacons: Small resources that may help measure page activity, advertising performance, or whether certain content has been accessed.
Local storage: Browser functionality that allows a website or service to store certain information on your device.
Device identifiers: Identifiers that may be used by certain devices or services for analytics, advertising, or preference management.
Browser or device signals: Technical information that may be used to support security, performance measurement, or service functionality.

MinutePulseNews does not claim to use every technology listed above. Their use depends on the services operating on the website.

4. Why May Cookies Be Used?

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes, where applicable:

To support website operation and security.
To remember preferences and certain settings.
To understand how visitors interact with pages.
To measure website traffic and performance.
To display and measure advertisements.
To support advertising personalisation where permitted.
To detect technical issues and improve the website.

The specific purposes and technologies in use may change when website features or third-party services are added, removed, or updated.

5. Third-Party Services

MinutePulseNews is hosted on Blogger, a service provided by Google. Google and other third-party services integrated into the website may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with their own functions.

If Google AdSense or other advertising services are enabled, advertising providers may process certain technical information or use cookies to deliver and measure advertisements, subject to their settings, policies, and applicable law.

Third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy notices. MinutePulseNews does not control every cookie or tracking technology that an external provider may set.
