USA News Grid

Effective Date: July 24, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how USA News Grid (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on https://usanewsgrid.com/ (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner. Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, may be used alongside or instead of traditional cookies and are covered by this policy.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

The table below summarizes the main categories of cookies used on the Site:

Category	Purpose	Examples	Can Be Disabled?
Essential / Strictly Necessary	Required for core Site functionality, such as page loading, security, and remembering login sessions.	Session cookies, security cookies	No
Performance & Analytics	Help us understand how visitors use the Site (pages viewed, time on site, traffic sources) so we can improve content and navigation.	Google Analytics	Yes
Functional	Remember your preferences, such as region or display settings, to improve your experience on return visits.	Preference cookies	Yes
Advertising	Used by us and advertising partners to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and limit repeat ad display.	Google AdSense, DoubleClick/Google Ads, other ad-network cookies	Yes

3. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by USA News Grid to support core functionality and site preferences. Third-party cookies are set by services we work with, such as Google Analytics for traffic measurement and Google AdSense (and other ad-network partners) for advertising. These third parties may also collect information about your visits to other websites, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

4. Cookies Used for Advertising (Google AdSense)

USA News Grid uses Google AdSense to display advertising and help fund free access to our content. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick/Google Ads cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies 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 can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, and manage your ad personalization settings, through Google’s Ads Settings. You may also opt out of certain third-party advertising cookies through:

• The Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer opt-out page (optout.aboutads.info);
• The Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page (optout.networkadvertising.org);
• Your Online Choices, for visitors in Europe (youronlinechoices.eu).

Opting out through these tools does not prevent all advertising; it limits interest-based advertising delivered through participating networks.

5. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies used on the Site generally fall into two categories:

• Session cookies: temporary cookies that are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period (ranging from a few days to a couple of years, depending on the cookie’s purpose) or until you delete them manually.

6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking cookies entirely, deleting existing cookies, or receiving a notification before a cookie is set. Since the method varies by browser, please consult your browser’s help resources for instructions specific to Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or your mobile browser. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on the Site, including login sessions and personalized content.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. There is currently no universal industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and the Site does not currently respond differently to browsers with DNT enabled. We will update this policy if that changes.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, or for legal or operational reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Effective Date.” We encourage you to review this page periodically.
