1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile
device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or
another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or
other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this
policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
There are many functions cookies serve. For example, they can help us to remember
your username and preferences analyze how well our website is performing, or even
allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember
me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect
information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information
such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a user’s general location.
2. What sort of cookies does the Daily News Activist use?
Generally, our cookies perform up to four different functions:
• Essential cookies Some cookies are essential for the operation
of our website. For example, some cookies allow us to identify subscribers and ensure
they can access the subscription only pages. If a subscriber opts to disable these
cookies, the user will not be able to access all of the content that a subscription
entitles them to.
• Performance Cookies We utilize other cookies to analyze how our
visitors use our websites and to monitor website performance. This allows us to
provide a high quality experience by customizing our offering and quickly identifying
and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use performance cookies
to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages
is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages.
We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think
will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.
• Functionality Cookies We use functionality cookies to allow us
to remember your preferences. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing
in your username every time you access the site, and recall your customization preferences,
such as which regional edition of the website you want to see when you log in. We
also use functionality cookies to provide you with enhanced services such as allowing
you to watch a video online or comment on a blog.
• Behaviorally Targeted Advertising Cookies Daily News Activist
and our advertisers use cookies to serve you with advertisements that we believe
are relevant to you and your interests. For example, if you read a number of articles
on motoring on Daily News Activist or on other sites, a car manufacturer might infer
you are interested in this topic and serve you with its car advertisements. You
might see these advertisements on dnahindi.com and on other sites that you visit.
However, we do not tell our advertisers who you are.
3. Does anyone else use cookies Daily News Activist websites?
Advertisers sometimes use their own cookies to provide you with targeted advertising.
For example, advertisers may use a profile they have built on sites that you have
previously visited to present you with more relevant advertisements during your
visit to Daily News Activist . We believe that it is useful to our users to see
advertisements that are more relevant to their interests.
We also use or allow third parties to serve cookies that fall into the four categories
above. For example, like many companies, we use Google Analytics to help us monitor
our website traffic. We may also use third party cookies to help us with market
research, revenue tracking, improving site functionality and monitoring compliance
with our terms and conditions and copyright policy.
4. Can a website user block cookies?

5. Do we track whether users open our emails?
Our emails may contain a single, campaign-unique “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether
our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within
the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which
of our emails are more interesting to users, to query whether users who do not open
our emails wish to continue receiving them and to inform our advertisers in aggregate
how many users have clicked on their advertisements. The pixel will be deleted when
you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device,
you should select to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.
