Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences—such as your language or login details—over a period of time, so you need not re-enter them whenever you return or move between pages. Most modern websites, including News UK, rely on cookies to function properly and to improve the experience they offer.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a number of distinct purposes. The main categories are set out below:

• Essential—strictly necessary cookies that enable core features such as page navigation, security and access to protected areas. The site cannot work properly without them.
• Performance and analytics—these help us understand how visitors use the site by collecting anonymous information about pages viewed and time spent, so we can improve our content.
• Functional—these remember choices you make, such as your region or text size, to give you a more personalised visit.
• Third-party—set by external services we use, for example embedded video players or social media tools, and governed by those providers’ own policies.

Managing Your Cookies

You are in control of the cookies stored on your device. Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings menu, and you can usually choose to be warned before a cookie is saved. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of News UK behave and could limit some features. Guidance on managing cookies is available within the help section of your particular browser.

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our practices or the law. Where we process personal data through cookies, we do so in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, which set out your rights and our obligations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
