The Herald Today ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website theheraldtoday.com (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to supply information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
We use cookies for the following purposes:
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our Site. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure area access, and remembering your preferences (such as dark mode or light mode theme selection). The Site cannot function properly without these cookies.
We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use the Site. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors move around the Site, and where we can make improvements. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language preference or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on an article.
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They also help limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission and track your browsing activity across websites.
