Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 9, 2026
This policy describes cookie categories used on iDESK World News—including cookies for Google AdSense / Google advertising—and how your consent controls optional Google tags.
What cookies are
Cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage) store small pieces of data in your browser. Some are necessary for the site to remember choices; others are optional.
Google advertising cookies
Because this site participates in Google AdSense / Google advertising when configured, Google and its partners may use advertising cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and/or other sites, to measure ads, and—if you allow personalization—to personalize ads. These technologies load only after you allow the Advertising category (and Personalization when you choose that option). Learn more in Google’s advertising technologies policy and manage choices at Google Ads Settings.
Categories we use
- Necessary — stores your consent decision (`tgh-consent-v1`) and supports essential site operation. Always on.
- Analytics — Google Analytics 4 related storage when configured and allowed.
- Advertising — Google AdSense / Google advertising storage and tags when configured and allowed (participation in Google ads on this site).
- Personalization — personalized advertising signals when you allow this category (typically alongside advertising).
Consent Mode
Google tags are integrated with Consent Mode v2 defaults set to denied for ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage until you update your choice. See Google’s Consent Mode documentation for product behavior details.
Managing cookies
Use the on-site banner to Accept all, Reject optional, or Manage preferences. Re-open settings anytime via the footer link “Cookie settings.” You can also clear site data in your browser or adjust personalized ads in Google Ads Settings.

See the Privacy Policy (Google advertising participation) and Advertising Disclosure for data practices and ad labeling beyond cookies.
