What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, tablet, or smartphone — when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site operators about how readers interact with their content.

Cookies do not contain personal information such as your name or payment details. They typically store a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your browser on return visits.

Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage may also be used for analogous purposes. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."

Functional / Preference

Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your reading experience — such as your preferred language, font size, or previously visited article categories — so you don't have to reset them on every visit.

Optional

Some of our editorial articles embed third-party content (e.g., videos, social media posts, infographics). These third-party providers may set their own cookies, governed by their respective privacy policies, which are outside our direct control.
