Cookie Policy & Settings

Sona News keeps tracking minimal and proportionate. This page explains the browser storage, Google AdSense advertising and certified consent controls used today.

Current approach

The site uses essential browser storage to remember 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.

Sona News serves manually placed display advertising through Google AdSense. Google Privacy & Messaging handles regulated consent and privacy choices where required.

Essential storage

  • 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 first-party measurement remains minimal. Any additional consent-dependent measurement must follow the choices recorded through Google Privacy & Messaging.

Advertising and personalization

Google AdSense advertising is active on article pages. In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Sona News uses Google’s certified Privacy & Messaging CMP and follows the Google EU User Consent Policy. Where consent is refused or not available, Google may limit ad personalisation or ad delivery as required.

Advertising and consent

Sona News serves manual display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, local storage and device or delivery signals for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and, where permitted, personalisation.

In the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland, a Google-certified Privacy & Messaging consent platform records choices before consent-dependent processing. Supported US-state privacy choices are handled through the same Google control. You can reopen your choices below.
