This Cookie Policy explains how NEWSTIDES (“Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://www.newstides.com (“Website”). It explains these technologies, why we use them, and your rights to control our use.
Sometimes, we may use cookies to collect personal information. This information becomes personal when combined with other data.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files that store data on your device when you visit a website. Website owners commonly use cookies to improve their website’s performance and collect reporting information.
Cookies created by the website owner (in this case, NewsTides) are known as “first-party cookies.” In contrast, cookies that are set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.”
Third-party cookies provide multiple features on the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. Organizations that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer when you visit their website and other related sites.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for different reasons. Some cookies are necessary for the technical operation of our website. We refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies.
Other cookies help us track and understand our users’ interests, allowing us to improve their experience on our online properties. Additionally, third parties may use cookies on our website for advertising, analytics, and other functions. More detailed information about this is provided below.

You have the right to either accept or decline cookies. Use the Cookie Consent Manager to manage your preferences, where you can select which cookie categories to accept. Essential cookies are necessary and cannot be declined.

What About Other Tracking Technologies, Including Web Beacons?
We use cookies and other methods to recognize and track visitors to our website. One of these methods is web beacons, which are sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs.”
These small graphic files have unique identifiers that help us know when someone visits our website or opens an email that contains them. This information lets us see how users move between pages, deliver or communicate through cookies, understand where visitors come from after seeing online ads, improve site performance, and measure how effective our email marketing is.
Keep in mind that these technologies often need cookies to work properly. If you decline cookies, their functionality may be reduced.
Are You Using Flash Cookies Or Local Shared Objects?
Websites can use “Flash Cookies,” also known as Local Shared Objects, or “LSOs,” to gather and save information about how you use their services. They use this information for fraud prevention and other site functions.
If you do not want Flash cookies to be stored on your computer, you can use the tools in the Website Storage Settings Panel to change your Flash Player settings to stop storing Flash cookies.
You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel. Please follow these instructions carefully. They may guide you on how to delete Flash Cookies (called “information” on the Macromedia site) and how to stop Flash Local Shared Objects (LSOs) from being added to your computer without your permission. If you are using Flash Player version 8 or later, you will also learn how to block Flash Cookies that are not from the webpage you are visiting.
Keep in mind that changing the Flash Player settings to limit Flash Cookies may reduce or affect how some Flash applications work, including those related to our services or online content.
Do You Provide Targeted Advertising Services?
Advertisers may use cookies on your computer or mobile device to display ads on our website.
These companies collect information regarding your visits to our site and other sites to present you with ads for products and services you might like. They may also use technology to track how well these ads perform.
They do this by using cookies or web beacons to gather information about your visits. This helps them show you ads for items that may interest you. The information they collect does not allow us or them to identify you personally unless you provide that information yourself.
