Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

At Briefly Global ("we", "us", or "our"), we are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use across our digital platforms. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy is designed to comply with international privacy standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. What Are Cookies? Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other devices when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance the user experience, and provide analytical and advertising information to the website owners.

2. How We Use Cookies We use cookies to ensure our digital news platform functions correctly, to understand how our readers interact with our content, and to deliver personalized experiences and relevant advertisements. The cookies we use fall into the following broad categories:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, services you have asked for (such as secure login areas, saving your cookie preferences, or remembering your UI choices like dark/light mode) cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require user consent.

B. Performance and Analytics Cookies These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. We use third-party services like Google Analytics to understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

C. Functionality Cookies These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. For example, they help remember your language preferences or your geographic region to deliver localized news content.

D. Targeting and Advertising Cookies These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners, such as Google AdSense and Meta (Facebook) Pixel. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

E. Third-Party and Embedded Content Cookies To provide a rich multimedia experience, we sometimes embed photos, video content, and social media widgets from websites such as YouTube, Twitter (X), or Instagram. As a result, when you visit a page with content embedded from these platforms, you may be presented with cookies from these websites. Briefly Global does not control the dissemination of these third-party cookies. You should check the relevant third-party website for more information about these cookies.

3. How Long Do Cookies Last? The lifespan of the cookies we use depends on their category:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically erased whenever you close your internet browser window.

  • Persistent Cookies: These usually have an expiration date and stay in your browser until they expire, or until you manually delete them. We use persistent cookies for functionalities like remembering your login details or dark mode preference between visits.

4. How to Manage and Control Your Cookies Under the GDPR, you have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies (except for strictly necessary ones). You can manage your cookie preferences through:

  • Our Cookie Banner: When you first visit Briefly Global, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner where you can customize your preferences.

  • Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, but your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.

To find out more about how to manage cookies on popular browsers, please visit the developer documentation for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

5. Updates to This Policy We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
