This policy explains what information Protunez collects when you visit this website, why we collect it, and the choices available to you.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us. If you email the newsroom or submit a comment, we receive the content of your message and your contact details.
  • Technical information. Like most websites, our servers record standard request data such as IP address, browser type, referring page and the pages you view.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. Small files stored by your browser that support site functionality, measurement and advertising.

How we use information

  • To deliver and secure the website.
  • To understand which articles readers find useful, in aggregate.
  • To respond to your correspondence.
  • To display advertising that funds our reporting.

Cookies

We use three broad categories of cookie:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function. These cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics cookies — help us measure aggregate traffic and article performance.
  • Advertising cookies — set by advertising partners to limit repetition, measure performance and, where permitted, personalise ads.

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies may affect some site features.

Third-party advertising

Protunez displays advertising supplied by third-party networks. Those partners, including Google and its certified partners where applicable, may use cookies or device identifiers to serve and measure ads based on your prior visits to this 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 other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies more broadly at aboutads.info.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate readership. We do not attempt to identify individual readers from analytics data.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our contact page.

Data retention

Correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to handle the enquiry and to keep a record of corrections. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostics.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International transfers

Our infrastructure and advertising partners may process data outside your country of residence. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for such transfers.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The revision date at the top of this page will always show when it was last changed.
