3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We and our partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect and store information. Cookies help us:

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings or via our cookie banner where available. Blocking cookies may impact Site functionality.

4. Third-Party Services & Links

ThalNews may use third-party services (analytics, advertising, payment processors, social networks) which may collect information about you. Examples include Google Analytics, advertising networks, and social login providers. These third parties have their own privacy policies — we recommend reviewing them.

The Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

5. Advertising & Sponsored Content

We may display advertising and sponsored content. Advertisers may use cookies and other tracking technologies to serve ads based on your preferences and browsing behavior. To opt out of targeted advertising from certain providers, follow their opt-out procedures (e.g., Google ad settings).

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or to comply with legal obligations. If you delete your account or request deletion, we will remove your personal data from our active systems, though backups may remain for a limited time and certain information may be retained as required by law.

8. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure — while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
