Third-Party Cookies Policy

1. Introduction

The Daily Pulse ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to transparency regarding how we handle your data. This Third-Party Cookies Policy supplements our main Privacy Policy and details the specific third-party cookies and tracking technologies used across our websites and services.

When you visit our sites, we and certain trusted third parties place small text files ("cookies") on your device to recognize your browser, store your preferences, and gather analytics data.

2. What Are Third-Party Cookies?

Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. For example, when you read an article on The Daily Pulse, a social media widget or an advertising partner may place cookies on your device. These partners use these cookies to:

• Track your browsing behavior across multiple websites.
• Build a profile of your interests for targeted advertising.
• Analyze website performance and user engagement.
• Enable social sharing features.

Unlike first-party cookies, which are essential for site functionality, third-party cookies are primarily used for advertising and analytics purposes.

3. Purposes of Third-Party Cookies

We categorize the use of third-party cookies into the following groups:

3.1 Advertising & Marketing

We partner with advertising networks to display relevant ads based on your interests. These cookies help measure ad effectiveness and limit the number of times you see an ad.

3.2 Analytics & Performance

We use analytics providers to understand how visitors interact with our content. This helps us improve site structure, content relevance, and user experience.

3.3 Social Media Integration

Embedded social media features (e.g., Like buttons, share widgets) may set cookies to enable functionality and track usage across social platforms.

3.4 Content Delivery

Third-party services may deliver media content (videos, images) and set cookies to optimize delivery speed and functionality.

4. List of Third-Party Partners

Below is a non-exhaustive list of current third-party partners that may set cookies on our sites. This list is updated regularly as our partners change.

For the most comprehensive and up-to-date list of partners, please refer to the transparency reports published by each provider linked in the section below.

5.3 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools

5.4 Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. While The Daily Pulse respects DNT signals, the implementation of such signals is not standardized. We currently do not respond to DNT headers automatically, but you may manage your preferences via our Preference Center.

6. Children's Privacy

The Daily Pulse does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). Third-party partners are instructed not to target ads to users identified as children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us immediately.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Third-Party Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice on our homepage or via email. We encourage you to review this page regularly.
