What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners about how their content is being used. Cookies are not programs and cannot run code or deliver viruses.
Types of cookies we use
We use two categories of cookies on ITop Field News:
- Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and load balancing. The site cannot operate properly without them. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent.
- Analytics cookies: We use privacy-focused analytics software to understand how visitors interact with the site, which articles are popular, and how readers navigate between pages. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous; it is not linked to an identifiable individual and is not shared with advertising networks. These cookies help us improve the quality and relevance of our content.
What we do not use cookies for
We do not use cookies to:
- Serve targeted or behavioural advertising
- Track you across third-party websites
- Build personal profiles for marketing purposes
- Share your browsing behaviour with data brokers
Third-party cookies
Some pages may embed content from third-party services (such as video players or social share buttons). These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their embedded content. We have limited control over third-party cookies. Please refer to the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies for details.
