This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies, why they are used, and your right to control their use. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information about our privacy-related practices, and the privacy-related rights and choices that may be available to you in connection with your use of our services.

BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU CONSENT TO THE PRACTICES AND POLICIES OUTLINED IN OUR PRIVACY POLICY AND COOKIE POLICY, AND THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE POLICIES.

USE OF COOKIES, WEB BEACONS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES.

Like most major websites, we may use cookies to collect information when you use our services. These technologies help us recognize you when you return to our websites and hold information from one visit to the next for your ease of use. Cookies also help us better understand how people use our services through click-stream analysis, which allows us to design a better user experience. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website stores on your computer hard drive, tablet, mobile device, or other device in the cookie file associated with the browser that you use to access the website. Cookies alone generally cannot be used to identify you, but a login cookie will store information that helps remember you, such as your username. We use persistent and session cookies to analyze and enhance your experience on the websites and use third party ad technology to serve ads. The data that is collected is the property of Newsday, not the third party.

While on our websites, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies, web beacons or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies or web beacons that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before (more detail regarding ad serving and ad networks and opportunities to opt out of their collection of data is found below). Newsday does not control the use of this technology or the resulting information and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties. Newsday expects its partners, advertisers and third-party affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. However, third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our websites, including social networking sites, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to Newsday.com you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a page on the site, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through the websites you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, other sites, advertisements, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Newsday is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties and you should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.

We also allow third parties called ad networks or ad servers to serve ads to you on the websites. Cookies enable them to compile information about where you, or others who have used your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information makes it possible for the ad technology, ad servers and ad networks to deliver targeted advertisements to you on the websites. Newsday does not have access to the cookies that may be placed on your computer by third-party ad technology, ad servers or ad networks. Newsday maintains relationships with a number of third-party networks. Those parties that use cookies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting. For additional information, refer to the "Interest-Based Advertising"" section below.

Some of our services and communications may contain tiny electronic images known as web beacons. We use web beacons to assist us in delivering cookies on our services and to allow us to count users who have visited those pages. We also include web beacons in promotional email messages to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?

We respect your right to privacy, and you can choose not to allow some types of cookies. Visit the Cookies Settings link at the bottom of our websites where your information is being collected and click on the different category headings to find out more and change your cookie preferences, as permitted based on your location. Please note that blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience on the websites and the services we are able to offer you.

Below is a list of the types of Cookies that appear on our websites.

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the websites to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.

Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our websites. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the websites. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our websites and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the websites to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our websites by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Social Media Cookies
These cookies are set by a range of social media services (such as Facebook) that we have added to the websites to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES.

When you first come to our websites, you may receive a notification that cookies are present. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING.

To help ensure that you receive ads that are relevant to your interests on our services, our advertisers' services, and elsewhere on the Internet, we and third-parties (including service providers, advertisers, and advertising companies) may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, and devices. We and third parties may use that information to help understand audience segments. Advertisers may use the segments to determine the audience groups to which they wish to deliver particular ads.

Opt out from targeted advertisements:
Desktops and Laptops. You may opt out of receiving permissible targeted advertisements by using the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") opt out tool available at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 or the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") opt out tool, by visiting Your Ad Choices at http://optout.aboutads.info.
For the European based opt outs, you may visit the European Digital Advertising Alliance at https://youronlinechoices.eu/.

Television & digital video programming opt out. Digital video programming devices (such as Smart TVs and apps on Smart TVs) may give you the ability to opt out of the use of your personal information for advertising purposes. To determine if your device has these options, please visit your device's setting menu. You may wish to consult the following guidance: https://www.networkadvertising.org/internet-connected-tv-choices/.
