Cookie Policy
Introduction
This is the cookie policy for Atulya Samachar (collectively referred to as “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy), our site atulyasamachar.com (“our site”).
For more information about how we may use personal data, please read our privacy policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file that contains letters and numbers that is downloaded on to your device when you visit a website. It is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive, tablet or mobile device. When you visit our sites it can allow us to recognise and remember you.
Technologies similar to cookies
- Technologies that store or access information on a user’s device are similar to cookies and are also covered by this policy. These technologies may include:
- Device fingerprinting – using a set of information without relying on cookies in order to identify a particular device. For this purpose where you are resident in Australia, our partner Ipsos Iris may collect your IP address, monitor settings, type of browser and operating system to create a unique serial number which constitutes a digital “fingerprint”.
- Local storage – storage of data in the local device’s cache, for example to load content quicker.
- Pixels – a small pixel graphic which is used to track user behaviour, site conversions etc.
- Scripts – small computer programs embedded within websites that give them extra functionality but may access user devices.
- In this policy we call all cookies and similar technologies “cookies”, for ease.
First-party and third-party cookies
There are different types of cookies:
First-party cookies – cookies that are set by the Atulya Samachar when you use our site.
Third-party cookies – cookies that are set by parties or organisations other than the Atulya Samachar when you use our site. Some Atulya Samachar web pages may also contain content from or link to other sites which may set their own cookies. If you share a link to a Atulya Samachar page, the service you share it on may set a cookie on your browser.
How do we use cookies?
We use cookies in a range of ways to improve your experience on our sites, including:
Keeping you signed in.
Understanding how you use our site, for instance how long you stay on a page or which article you read next.
Delivering content to you.
Showing you journalism that is relevant to you.
Showing you Atulya Samachar products and services that are relevant to you.
Delivering marketing and service messages to you on our site.
Working with partners to deliver relevant advertising to you.
Reminding you to complete online journeys (e.g. registration flow).
Processing payments and refunds.
Monitoring how users interact with pages on our site to identify and remedy technical issues.
In the next sections, we explain in more detail how cookies on our site may be useful, as well as when and where you can control them.
How do we use cookies for advertising?
If you accept cookies, as you browse our site, we will place cookies on your device. Some cookies are for advertising, so we can understand what sorts of pages you read and are interested in viewing. We can then display advertising on your browser based on these interests. For instance, if you have been reading a lot of food articles, you may be shown more adverts for food.
How do third parties use cookies for advertising?
With your consent we share and receive online data collected through cookies with our advertising partners. This means that when you are on another website, you may be shown advertising based on your browsing patterns on our site. We may also show you advertising on our site based on your browsing patterns on other sites that we have obtained from our advertising partners.
Online retargeting is another form of online advertising that allows us and some of our advertising partners to show you advertising based on your browsing patterns and interactions with other sites. The use of cookies may mean that when you are on another site, you may be shown advertising based on what you have looked at on our site. For example, if you have visited the website of an online clothes shop, you may start seeing adverts from that same shopping site displaying special offers or showing you the products you were browsing. This allows companies to advertise to you if you leave their website without making a purchase.
How to manage cookies at the Atulya Samachar?
You can manage the use of cookies on our site, including advertising cookies, and disable the sharing of data with partners for advertising purposes by clicking the “Privacy Settings” link in the footer of every page of our site. These “Privacy Settings” allow you to withdraw your consent to placing cookies, or object to the use of data collected by cookies under the legitimate interests option.
Making a choice about personalised advertising does not mean you will not see advertising. You may still see advertising that has been tailored to your interests or advertising that is intended for Atulya Samachar readers in general. When you choose advertising which is not personalised to you, that may reduce the number of advertising partners with whom we share your data, or reduce the relevance of advertising tailored for you.
You can switch some cookies off through the Your Online Choices site. You may need to do this again each time you use a different IP address, device, or virtual private network. You can also adjust the global privacy setting or plug-in which should be communicated to use via your browser.
It is also possible to stop your browser from accepting cookies altogether by changing your browser’s cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser. If you stop your browser from accepting cookies altogether, some features on our site may not work as well as you expect. Please note that searching in incognito mode or regularly clearing your cookies may reset your cookie settings.
If you are located in the US, please use the “California resident – Do Not Sell button” instead, which you can find in the footer of every page on our site.
