This Cookie Policy explains how eUttarakhand News (euttarakhandnews.com, “we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, recognize your browser on return visits, and give site owners useful data about how the site is used. Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage may work alongside cookies for the same purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
a) Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the Site to function properly — for example, enabling our contact form and comment system to work correctly, and maintaining basic site security. Without these, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.
b) Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Site — such as which articles are read most, how long visitors stay, and which pages they come from. This helps us improve our content and site performance. Google may set its own cookies as part of this service.
c) Advertising Cookies (Future)
We currently do not run third-party advertising on the Site, but we plan to introduce it in the future, potentially through Google AdSense and similar networks. Once active, these cookies will be used to serve ads and may track browsing activity across this and other sites to show more relevant advertising. We will update this policy when advertising is introduced.
d) Affiliate Tracking Cookies
Some articles and reviews on the Site contain affiliate links. If you click one, the affiliate partner may place a cookie on your device to track that the visit or purchase came from our Site, so that we may earn a commission. These cookies are set by the third-party affiliate network, not by us directly.
e) Embedded Content Cookies
Some pages may include embedded content from third parties (such as social media posts, videos, or maps). These embeds may set their own cookies and collect data about your interaction with them, governed by that third party’s own privacy and cookie practices, even if you don’t have an account with them.
f) Comment System Cookies
If you leave a comment on an article, a cookie may be used to remember your name and email address (if provided) for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter these details the next time you comment.
3. Future Email Sign-Up
We plan to introduce an email subscription option on the Site. If and when this is launched, cookies or similar tools may be used to manage subscription preferences and measure email engagement, and this policy will be updated accordingly.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Site are placed by third parties (such as Google, affiliate networks, or embedded content providers) rather than by us directly. We do not control how these third parties use their cookies. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy and cookie policies for more detail — for example, Google’s practices are described in Google’s own Privacy Policy.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Block third-party cookies specifically
- Clear all cookies when you close your browser
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the Site, including the comment system, contact form, and personalized content.
You can find instructions for managing cookies in the help section of your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.), or visit sites such as www.aboutcookies.org for general guidance.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, including when advertising or email sign-up features are introduced. The updated version will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date.
