Cookies and privacy controls
Cookies, account sessions and privacy controls.
Authentication cookies keep your reader or staff session signed in. Reader and staff sessions use separate cookies. The newsroom stores toolbar and theme preferences in your browser so your writing tools remain familiar.
Optional account-linked reading activity requires the analytics choice in your reader profile. Declining this does not prevent access to registered stories. Changing your choice affects future collection.
Advertisement performance uses the existing campaign analytics controls. Video embeds on new published articles load only when you select Load and play. YouTube and Vimeo may then process data or use their own cookies.
You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser; doing so signs you out and resets local preferences. See the privacy notice or contact our communications team.
