Cookie Policy
Effective Date: 26-01-2025

At News Crime Files (accessible at newscrimefile.com), we use cookies to enhance your user experience, analyze website traffic, and provide personalized content. By using our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the Website to remember your preferences, actions, and browsing history over time.

There are two main types of cookies:

  1. First-Party Cookies: Cookies set by the Website you’re visiting (e.g., for user preferences).
  2. Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by external services like advertisers, social media platforms, or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics).

Types of Cookies We Use

  1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
    These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, security, and account login. Without these cookies, the Website would not function properly.
  2. Performance Cookies
    These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website (e.g., which pages are visited most often). These cookies help us improve the performance and functionality of the Website.
    • Example: Google Analytics.
  3. Functionality Cookies
    These cookies remember your preferences (e.g., language choice, region) to provide a more personalized experience on the Website.
  4. Targeting/Advertising Cookies
    These cookies are used to display relevant ads to you based on your browsing behavior. They also help limit the number of times you see an ad and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
    • Example: Cookies used by OneSignal for push notifications.

Managing Cookies

You can control how cookies are set on your device by adjusting your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • Accept or block all cookies.
  • Delete cookies after each session.

Third-Party Cookies

We may also allow third-party service providers to set cookies on your device. These cookies are used for purposes such as analytics, advertising, and tracking user behavior across different websites.

  • Google Analytics: Used to track and analyze website traffic and user interactions.
  • OneSignal: Used for sending push notifications.
  • Social Media Cookies: Used for sharing content or interacting with social media platforms.

We do not control how third-party cookies are used, so we encourage you to review their privacy policies for more information.

Cookie Consent Mechanism

To comply with data protection laws, such as the GDPR, we have implemented a Cookie Consent Mechanism that informs you about our use of cookies and allows you to control your cookie preferences.

When you visit our Website, a Cookie Consent Banner will appear at the bottom of the screen. The banner will inform you about our use of cookies and provide you with the following options:

  1. Accept All Cookies:
    By clicking “Accept All,” you consent to the use of all cookies, including performance, functionality, and advertising cookies.
  2. Reject Non-Essential Cookies:
    By clicking “Reject All,” you opt-out of non-essential cookies (i.e., performance, functionality, and targeting cookies). Essential cookies required for the Website to function will still be used.
  3. Customize Preferences:
    Clicking “Customize” will take you to a settings page where you can selectively enable or disable different categories of cookies, such as performance, functionality, and targeting cookies.
