Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how CNCB News ("we", "us", "the site") handles information when you visit our website. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible and to be transparent about what we do collect.
1. Information we collect
- Technical log data. Like most websites, our servers automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and the pages you visit. This is used to operate, secure and troubleshoot the site.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We use a small number of cookies to run the site and, with your consent, to measure traffic. See our Cookie Policy for details.
- Analytics data. If you consent, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate.
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.
2. How we use your information
- To operate, maintain and secure the website.
- To understand, in aggregate, which content is popular and how the site performs.
- To prevent abuse, fraud and technical problems.
- To respond to enquiries you send us.
3. Consent and your choices
When you first visit, we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential (analytics or marketing) cookies. Necessary cookies, which are required for the site to function, are always active. We use Google Consent Mode: analytics and advertising storage remain denied until you choose to allow them. You can change your choices at any time by clearing the site's cookies in your browser, which will bring the consent banner back.
4. Third-party services
We use Google services (such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager) to measure site usage when you have given consent. These services may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We also link to third-party news publishers; once you follow a link to another site, that site's privacy policy governs your visit.
5. Legal basis for processing
Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on your consent for analytics and marketing cookies, and on our legitimate interests in operating and securing the site for essential technical processing.
6. Data retention
Technical logs are retained only for as long as needed to operate and secure the site. Aggregated analytics data is retained in accordance with the analytics provider's settings.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children
The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
