Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how [LGBTI News] (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://news.lgbti.org (the “LGBTI News”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control their use.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, https://news.lgbti.org) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics, advertising, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

Types of Cookies We Use

  1. Essential Cookies
    These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
  2. Performance and Analytics Cookies
    These cookies collect information about how our Website is used, such as which pages are most visited, and help us improve our services.
  3. Functionality Cookies
    These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionalities (like videos) may become unavailable.
  4. Advertising and Targeting Cookies
    These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring ads are displayed properly, and in some cases, selecting advertisements based on your interests.

Your Choices Regarding Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

If you do not accept cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
