Understanding How We Use Data at DiseNews
At DiseNews.com, our mission is to provide you with a broad, balanced, and transparent view of the world. That commitment to transparency extends to how we run our website and protect your privacy. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences while reading our content.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file saved on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. It allows the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time. This way, you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
How We Use Cookies
DiseNews uses cookies to ensure our website functions properly, to understand how our adult readers interact with our articles, and to support our independent journalism through affiliate marketing.
We use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for you to browse DiseNews.com and use its features. Without these cookies, basic site operations (like page routing and security) cannot function properly.
- Analytical and Performance Cookies: We want to know which topics matter most to you—whether it’s global politics, local events, or tech reviews. These cookies help us track site traffic, understand which pages are the most popular, and see how users move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
- Functionality Cookies: These allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your region or text size) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
- Affiliate and Advertising Cookies: To fund our research and support our freelance team, we participate in affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click on an affiliate link in one of our pros-and-cons reviews and make a purchase, a cookie is used to track that referral so we can earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics and process affiliate links. For example, affiliate networks require tracking cookies to verify that a reader clicked a link from DiseNews.com before making a purchase. These third-party providers have their own privacy and cookie policies governing how they handle your data.
