This Privacy Policy explains what information TechNewsRouter ("we", "us") collects when you visit technewsrouter.com (the "Site"), and how it is used.
Information we collect
When you post a comment, we store the name and message you submit, along with the time it was posted. Comments are held for manual review and do not appear publicly until approved. We do not ask for your email address and do not require an account.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site (pages viewed, general location, device and browser type). This is aggregate usage data; we do not use it to identify you personally.
To count article views, your browser stores a small timestamp per article in local storage so that reloading a page isn't counted twice. Only an anonymous per-article total is kept on our server — no IP address, identifier or cookie is stored for this.
Cookies and advertising
The Site displays ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visitingGoogle Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising atwww.aboutads.info. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services atHow Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
We also use Cloudflare Turnstile on our comment form to help prevent spam; it may set cookies as part of verifying that a submission is not automated.
Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, advertising and analytics cookies are off by default. You'll be shown a consent message (provided by Google, a certified consent management platform) and can accept, decline, or choose specific purposes; until you consent, only non-personalized ads may be shown and no advertising or analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time using the privacy settings link shown by that message.
Under the GDPR and UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you (in practice, only comments you've submitted), and to object to its processing. Our legal basis is your consent for advertising/analytics cookies and our legitimate interest in running and moderating the Site for comments.
California residents
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Ad personalization through Google's cookies may count as "sharing" under California law; you can opt out using the Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info links above.
Third-party links
Every article links back to its original source publication. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites we link to.
Data retention
Comments and their associated name/message are retained for as long as the related article remains published, or until you request removal (see Contact).
Children's privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date above will reflect any changes.
