Cookie Policy & Settings

Current approach

The site uses essential browser storage to remember privacy choices and language preferences. Newsletter signups store consent server-side and do not require advertising cookies. Cloudflare and hosting providers may process technical data needed to deliver, measure, and protect the site.

Display advertising is not currently served during launch review. If Google ads, GA4, Reader Revenue Manager, or other tags are enabled later, Sona News should update this page and respect required consent choices before those tools go live.

Essential storage

• sona_cookie_consent_v1: stores privacy choices so the banner does not reappear on every page.
• sonaPreferredLanguage: stores the language or edition selected by the reader.
• sona_quiz_seen_v1: may store quiz progress or rotation state if quiz features are used.
• Security and delivery cookies or local storage may be set by infrastructure providers where required to protect and deliver the site.

Optional analytics

Audience measurement helps Sona understand aggregate readership and improve the publication. Current measurement is minimal. The consent banner includes an audience measurement choice so that future analytics tags can respect reader preferences.

Optional advertising and personalization

Advertising and personalization storage is off by default for readers who have not granted consent. If advertising is enabled, Sona News should use consent-aware tags and, for Google advertising products in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, follow Google EU User Consent Policy and any certified CMP requirements that apply to the selected product.
