News Plug (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website [www.newsplug.co.uk] (the “Site”). This Cookie Notice explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.


1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function properly, remember your preferences, and improve your experience. Some cookies are essential, while others are used for analytics, personalisation, or advertising.


2. Types of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies
    Required for the Site to function (e.g. security, navigation, load balancing). These cannot be switched off.

  • Performance and Analytics Cookies
    Help us understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are most popular and how users move around. We use this data to improve performance.

  • Functional Cookies
    Allow the Site to remember your settings and preferences (such as region or login details) to provide a more personalised experience.

  • Advertising and Targeting Cookies
    We and our advertising partners (for example, Google Ads, programmatic ad networks, and sponsored content providers) may place cookies to:

    • Deliver adverts that are relevant to your interests.

    • Limit the number of times you see the same advert.

    • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

    • Personalise adverts based on your browsing activity across this and other sites.

These cookies may track your browsing activity across websites and build a profile of your interests. If you opt out, you may still see adverts, but they will be less personalised.

  • Advertising partners (e.g. Google Ads, programmatic networks, affiliate partners).

  • Social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram when content is embedded or shared).

These third parties manage their own cookies and privacy policies.
