This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies Cyber Newsroom uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. We also use browser localStorage (a similar mechanism built into modern browsers) to store your consent preference. Unlike cookies, localStorage is never sent to the server — it stays entirely on your device.
Essential cookies are required for the site to function. They do not require your consent under ePrivacy / PECR regulations because they are strictly necessary.
| Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin_session | Cookie (HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax) | 8 hours | Admin dashboard authentication only. Set only for authenticated administrators, not regular visitors. |
| cn_consent | localStorage | 12 months | Stores your cookie consent preference ("all" or "essential"). Never sent to the server. |
| cn_consent_ts | localStorage | 12 months | Timestamp of when consent was recorded, used to expire and re-prompt after 12 months. |
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. These cookies are only set if you click "Accept All" in the cookie banner. They are not active by default.
| Name | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | 2 years | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. |
| _ga_XXXXXXXX | Google Analytics 4 | 2 years | Persists session state for Google Analytics 4 measurement ID. |
| _gid | Google Analytics | 24 hours | Distinguishes users within the same session. |
Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC (USA). See Google's Privacy Policy and their Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Your current consent status is shown below. You can change your preference at any time. Withdrawing analytics consent will disable Google Analytics and reload the page.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Each browser handles cookies differently; consult your browser's documentation:
Note: Disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality for administrators. For regular visitors, there are no essential cookies that affect browsing.
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We honour DNT signals — if your browser sends DNT=1, Google Analytics will not be loaded even if you have previously consented, until you explicitly opt in again.
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. For questions, contact contact@cybernewsroom.xyz.
