Welcome
to BROKEN NEWS Business Desk (“BROKEN NEWS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
This
Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when
you visit or interact with the BROKEN NEWS website.
Because
BROKEN NEWS is operated using Blogger and may use Google services such
as Google AdSense and potentially Google Analytics, cookies and similar
technologies may be placed or read by third-party service providers or by us.
We have
prepared this policy to explain what cookies are, why they may be used, and how
visitors can manage their cookie preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies
are small text files that websites may store on a visitor's computer,
smartphone, tablet or other internet-connected device.
Cookies
can allow a website or third-party service to recognise a browser or device and
remember certain information.
Cookies
may be used to:
- Make websites function
properly;
- Remember preferences;
- Understand how visitors use
a website;
- Measure website traffic;
- Improve website performance;
- Prevent fraud and abuse;
- Deliver or measure
advertising;
- Limit how frequently an
advertisement is displayed;
- Provide personalised
advertising where permitted;
- Generate aggregated reports.
Cookies
themselves generally do not contain information such as your password or bank
PIN.
However,
information associated with cookies may sometimes be combined with other
information by the relevant service provider.
2. Why BROKEN NEWS Uses
Cookies
BROKEN
NEWS may use cookies and similar technologies for several legitimate purposes.
These
purposes may include:
Website Functionality
Cookies
may help certain parts of the website operate properly.
Analytics
Cookies
may help us understand:
- How many people visit the
website;
- Which articles receive
traffic;
- How visitors navigate the
website;
- Which pages are most
frequently viewed;
- General website performance.
Advertising
If BROKEN
NEWS displays advertisements, cookies and similar technologies may be used by
advertising providers to:
- Deliver advertisements;
- Measure advertising
performance;
- Limit advertisement
frequency;
- Understand advertising
interactions;
- Personalise advertisements
where permitted.
Security
Cookies
and similar technologies may assist in detecting abuse, fraudulent activity and
unusual website behaviour.
3. Blogger and Google
Services
BROKEN
NEWS is hosted using Blogger, a Google service.
Because
Blogger is operated by Google, Google and its associated technologies may
process certain technical information when visitors access the website.
Google
explains that cookies and similar technologies may be used across its products
and services for purposes including functionality, security, analytics and
advertising.
Visitors
should also review Google's relevant privacy information for more details about
Google's processing practices.
4. Google AdSense Cookies
BROKEN
NEWS may use Google AdSense to display advertisements.
If
AdSense is active on the website, Google and its advertising partners may use
cookies and similar technologies in connection with advertising.
Google's
publisher requirements state that publishers using its advertising products
must disclose the use of cookies and similar technologies.
Depending
on the visitor's location and applicable consent requirements, advertising may
be:
- Personalised; or
- Non-personalised.
Personalised
advertising may use information about a user's previous activity to help
determine which advertisements may be relevant.
Non-personalised
advertising generally relies more heavily on contextual information, although
certain cookies or identifiers may still be used for functions such as
frequency capping and aggregated reporting where permitted.
5. Google Analytics
BROKEN
NEWS may use Google Analytics or another analytics service to understand
how visitors use the website.
Analytics
technologies may collect information such as:
- Pages visited;
- Approximate location;
- Device type;
- Browser type;
- Operating system;
- Referring website;
- Time spent on pages;
- General interaction with the
website.
Analytics
information helps us understand audience behaviour and improve the website.
6. Types of Cookies
Cookies
can generally be classified according to their purpose and how they are
managed.
6.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These
cookies may be required for certain website functions to operate.
They may
support:
- Security;
- Basic functionality;
- Session management;
- Technical operations.
Where
legally permitted, certain strictly necessary cookies may not require consent
because the website cannot function properly without them.
6.2 Functional Cookies
Functional
cookies may allow the website to remember preferences or choices.
For
example, they may help remember:
- Display preferences;
- Language preferences;
- Certain website settings.
6.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics
cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website.
They may
provide information about:
- Visitor numbers;
- Popular articles;
- Traffic sources;
- Page performance;
- General navigation patterns.
Analytics
information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to improve the
website.
6.4 Advertising Cookies
Advertising
cookies may be used by Google and other advertising providers to:
- Display advertisements;
- Measure advertisements;
- Manage advertising
frequency;
- Support personalised
advertising where applicable;
- Generate advertising
reports.
Advertising
cookies may be controlled by third-party advertising providers rather than
directly by BROKEN NEWS.
6.5 Social-Media and Embedded Content Cookies
BROKEN
NEWS may embed or link to content from third-party platforms such as:
- YouTube;
- Facebook;
- Instagram;
- X;
- TikTok;
- LinkedIn;
- Other media or social
platforms.
These
services may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded
or when visitors interact with it.
The
third-party provider's own privacy and cookie policies apply to such
technologies.
7. First-Party and
Third-Party Cookies
Cookies
can also be classified according to who places them.
First-Party Cookies
First-party
cookies are generally placed by the website that the visitor is currently
viewing.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party
cookies may be placed by services provided by another organisation.
BROKEN
NEWS may use third-party services for:
- Advertising;
- Analytics;
- Video;
- Social media;
- Website functionality;
- Security.
Third-party
cookies are controlled according to the policies and settings of the relevant
third-party provider.
8. Cookies Used by Google
Google
may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with services provided
on websites.
These
technologies can support functions such as:
- Advertising;
- Advertising measurement;
- Analytics;
- Security;
- Fraud prevention;
- Frequency management.
Google
provides information about how it uses cookies and similar technologies through
its own privacy and advertising documentation.
Visitors
should review Google's current documentation because Google's technologies and
policies may change over time.
9. Personalised Advertising
Where
permitted and where applicable consent has been obtained, Google or advertising
partners may use information associated with cookies or similar technologies to
provide personalised advertisements.
Personalised
advertising may take into account factors such as previous browsing activity or
interests.
The
availability and operation of personalised advertising can depend on:
- User location;
- Consent;
- Browser settings;
- Device settings;
- Google account settings;
- Advertising configuration;
- Applicable law.
10. Non-Personalised
Advertising
Where
personalised advertising is not permitted, not selected or not consented to,
advertisements may be served using contextual information.
For
example, advertising may be related to:
- The content of the page;
- The general location of the
visitor;
- Language;
- Device type;
- Other contextual
information.
Certain
technical identifiers may still be used where necessary for advertising
functions permitted under applicable rules.
11. Cookie Consent
BROKEN
NEWS may use a cookie-consent mechanism to request permission for certain
categories of cookies where required by applicable law.
The
consent experience may vary depending on:
- Your location;
- The services active on the
website;
- Applicable privacy laws;
- Google's advertising
configuration;
- Your previous consent
choices.
If you
are presented with a cookie-consent banner, you should review the available
choices before selecting your preferences.
12. European Economic Area,
United Kingdom and Switzerland
Visitors
from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom and Switzerland
may be subject to additional consent requirements.
Where
applicable, BROKEN NEWS may use a consent-management solution to obtain and
manage consent for advertising-related cookies and similar technologies.
Google's
publisher policies require publishers serving personalised advertising to users
in applicable European jurisdictions to comply with Google's EU User Consent
Policy.
The
specific consent options displayed to visitors may depend on Google's current requirements
and the configuration of the website.
13. Ghana and Other
Jurisdictions
BROKEN
NEWS is operated from Ghana and seeks to respect applicable Ghanaian
data-protection requirements.
Visitors
from other countries may have additional privacy rights under the laws
applicable to them.
Where
legally required, BROKEN NEWS may provide additional consent mechanisms or
privacy choices based on the visitor's jurisdiction.
14. How to Manage Cookies
Most
modern browsers allow you to control cookies.
Depending
on your browser, you may be able to:
- View stored cookies;
- Delete cookies;
- Block cookies;
- Allow cookies only from
selected websites;
- Block third-party cookies;
- Receive warnings when cookies
are being used.
Browser
controls vary.
Common
browsers include:
- Google Chrome;
- Microsoft Edge;
- Mozilla Firefox;
- Apple Safari;

Changing
your browser's cookie settings may affect how BROKEN NEWS and other websites
operate.
15. Managing Google
Advertising Preferences
Google
provides tools that allow users to manage certain advertising preferences.
Users may
be able to control whether advertisements are personalised through Google's
advertising settings.
Changing
advertising preferences does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing
advertisements.
Instead,
it may affect the type or relevance of advertisements displayed.
16. Deleting Cookies
You can
generally delete cookies through your browser settings.
However,
deleting cookies may:
- Remove saved preferences;
- Reset certain website
settings;
- Require you to make choices
again;
- Affect website
functionality;
- Remove consent preferences
stored in cookies.
Some
cookies may be recreated when you visit the website again.
17. Do Not Track Signals
Some
browsers provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy settings.
Because
there is no universal technical standard requiring all websites and third-party
services to respond to such signals in the same way, BROKEN NEWS cannot
guarantee that every third-party service will recognise or respond to a
browser's Do Not Track setting.
18. Other Similar
Technologies
Cookies
are not the only technology that may be used to recognise or measure visitors.
Depending
on the services active on BROKEN NEWS, similar technologies may include:
- Web beacons;
- Pixels;
- Local storage;
- Device identifiers;
- Tracking technologies;
- Server logs.
References
to “cookies” in this policy may therefore include similar technologies where
appropriate.

include:
- IP address;
- Browser information;
- Device information;
- Operating system;

information;

BROKEN NEWS
does not intentionally request passwords, bank PINs or other highly sensitive
information through cookies.
20. Cookies and Personal

may sometimes be associated with information that can identify or distinguish a
particular browser or device.
The way
this information is treated depends on the service responsible for the cookie.
Our Privacy
Policy explains our broader approach to personal information.
