Connect Live News Network (CLNN) uses cookies and similar technologies to help operate, secure and improve our website and understand how visitors interact with our content.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why they may be used on the CLNN website, the types of cookies that may be placed on your device, and the choices available to you.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet-connected device when you visit a website.
They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a user’s visit. Cookies may help websites function properly, remember preferences, measure traffic and provide relevant content or advertising.
Cookies generally do not contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information associated with cookies may sometimes be linked with other information that can identify or relate to an individual.
2. Why We Use Cookies
CLNN may use cookies and similar technologies for legitimate purposes connected with operating our digital news platform.
These purposes may include ensuring that the website functions correctly, remembering certain preferences, understanding how visitors use our website, improving website performance, measuring the reach of our journalism, maintaining security and supporting advertising or other website services.
The specific cookies used on our website may change as our technology, service providers and website features develop.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies may be necessary for basic website functionality.
They can help with functions such as page navigation, security, session management and other essential technical operations.
Because these cookies may be required for the website to function, they may not always be capable of being disabled through a website cookie preference mechanism.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may allow the website to remember choices or preferences made by visitors.
For example, they may help remember certain settings or provide enhanced functionality.
Disabling these cookies may cause some website features to operate differently or become unavailable.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies may help us understand how visitors use the CLNN website.
They can provide information such as which pages are visited, how users navigate the website, how long visitors interact with particular content and whether technical problems are occurring.
Analytics information helps us understand our audience and improve the performance and usability of our website.
Advertising Cookies
Where advertising services are used, cookies or similar technologies may be used to deliver, measure or personalise advertisements.
Advertising partners may use information collected through these technologies to understand advertising performance or provide advertisements based on browsing activity, subject to their own policies and applicable law.
CLNN does not use advertising cookies for the purpose of giving advertisers editorial control over our journalism.
Social Media and Third-Party Cookies
Some pages may contain features provided by third parties, such as social-media platforms, video services, analytics providers or other external services.
These third parties may use their own cookies or similar technologies when their features are loaded or used.
The use of such technologies is governed by the respective third party’s privacy policy and terms.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
A first-party cookie is placed by the CLNN website or a service operating on our behalf.
A third-party cookie is placed by an external service provider whose technology may be integrated into our website.
Third-party services may include analytics, advertising, security, embedded media, social-media or other technical services.
The third party may process information according to its own privacy policy. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party services where relevant.
5. Session and Persistent Cookies
Cookies may also differ according to how long they remain on your device.
Session cookies generally remain on your device only while your browser session is active and are removed or expire when the session ends.
Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted manually. They may allow a website to recognise returning visitors or remember preferences between visits.
The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose and the service responsible for placing it.
6. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, CLNN or its service providers may use technologies such as pixels, web beacons, tags, local storage or similar mechanisms.
These technologies may perform functions similar to cookies, including measuring website activity, understanding content engagement, maintaining security or measuring advertising performance.
For the purposes of this policy, we generally refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies.”
7. How We Use Cookie Information
Information obtained through cookies may be used to improve the website and our digital services.
This may include analysing traffic patterns, understanding readership trends, improving page loading and functionality, detecting technical problems, maintaining security, remembering preferences and measuring the performance of editorial content.
Where appropriate, cookie information may also be used to support advertising and other commercial functions.
We seek to use such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
8. Your Cookie Choices
Depending on the cookie and the technologies implemented on our website, you may have several ways to control cookies.
Your browser may allow you to block, delete or restrict cookies. You may also be able to configure your browser to notify you when a website attempts to place a cookie on your device.
Where CLNN provides a cookie preference or consent mechanism, you may use the available controls to manage applicable categories of cookies.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality and may prevent some features from working as intended.
9. Browser Controls
Most modern browsers provide controls for managing cookies.
You can generally configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject certain cookies, delete existing cookies or ask for permission before a cookie is stored.
The exact process varies depending on the browser and device you use.
Deleting cookies from your browser may also remove preferences previously saved by websites.
10. Analytics Services
CLNN may use third-party analytics providers to understand website usage and performance.
Such providers may collect technical information about visits to our website through cookies or similar technologies.
Analytics information may be used to understand audience engagement, identify technical problems, measure traffic and improve the website.
Where third-party analytics services are used, their processing may also be subject to their respective privacy policies and terms.
11. Advertising Technologies
CLNN may work with advertising partners or technology providers to display advertisements on the website.
Advertising technologies may use cookies, pixels or other identifiers to measure advertisements, prevent fraudulent activity, understand advertising performance or personalise advertisements where permitted.
The availability and nature of advertising technologies may vary depending on the user’s location, device, browser and applicable consent requirements.
Advertising does not determine our independent editorial decisions.
12. Cookies and Personal Information
A cookie by itself may not necessarily identify you by name.
However, information collected through cookies may sometimes be combined with other information, such as technical information or account information, and may therefore constitute personal information under applicable law.
Where this occurs, such information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.
13. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information processed through our website.
However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should therefore understand that transmission of information over the internet involves inherent security risks.
14. Third-Party Websites
The CLNN website may contain links to external websites or services.
Once you leave the CLNN website, this Cookie Policy may no longer apply. Third-party websites may use cookies and other tracking technologies according to their own policies.
We encourage users to review the privacy and cookie policies of external websites before interacting with them or providing personal information.
15. Changes in Cookies Used by CLNN
The cookies and technologies used on a digital news website may change as new services, analytics tools, advertising technologies and security systems are introduced.
Accordingly, the specific cookies operating on our website may vary from time to time.
We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices change or when necessary to reflect legal, technical or operational developments.
The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was most recently revised.
16. Children’s Privacy
CLNN does not intentionally use cookies to collect unnecessary personal information from children.
Where our website contains content concerning children, we seek to handle information responsibly and in accordance with applicable legal and editorial requirements.
17. Consent Where Required
Where applicable law requires consent for the use of particular cookies or similar technologies, CLNN will seek to provide appropriate information and applicable choices before using those technologies.
Certain cookies may be necessary for the operation, security or functionality of the website and may be treated differently under applicable law.
Your available choices may depend on your location, device and the services being used on the website.
18. Relationship With Our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy forms part of CLNN’s broader privacy framework.
Our Privacy Policy provides additional information about how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect personal information.
