This policy explains what cookies are, which ones Newstrends uses, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our privacy policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels. They let a site remember choices, understand how it is used, and—where enabled—support advertising.
Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary. Needed for the site to work and to keep it secure. These include remembering your cookie-consent choice. They cannot be switched off through our consent banner.
- Analytics (optional). Where enabled and if you allow them, these help us understand aggregate, non-identifying trends such as which stories are popular and how visitors navigate the site.
- Advertising (optional). Where enabled and if you allow them, Google and its partners may set cookies to serve and measure advertising, including personalised ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
Google advertising cookies
When advertising is enabled, we work with Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site, and its use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits here and to other sites.
- Manage personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
- Read how Google uses data from sites that use its services in Google's privacy & terms.
Your choices
When you first visit, we ask for your consent before loading optional analytics and advertising cookies. You can accept or decline. Until you accept, non-essential cookies are not loaded. You can also control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, and you can reset your choice on this site by clearing site data. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes, and will revise the “last updated” date above. Questions? Email editorial@newstrends.co.za.
