Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 and Ahrefs Web Analytics to understand visits, device types, referring pages and how readers move through the site. These services may use cookies or similar technologies. We also count page views with our own cookie-free statistics service at kiemgame.com, run by the NewsAgo team. It records the page address (never the part after a question mark), the referring website, any campaign label, your approximate country, device type, browser and operating system, how long the page stays open and visible, the destination website (only) when you open an external article, and a few anonymous actions such as following a story or requesting a briefing. It does not set cookies or store your IP address; unique visitors are counted with a one-way code that changes every day and cannot be linked from one day to the next. These statistics are kept for about 13 months.

Advertising

NewsAgo shows advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites, to limit how often you see the same ad, to detect fraud and to measure how ads perform. You can turn off personalised advertising from Google in Google’s Ads Settings, and read how Google uses information from sites that show its ads at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also opt out of personalised advertising from many other ad companies at optout.aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for their consent, through a Google-certified consent message, before cookies are used for personalised ads. If you decline, Google may show non-personalised or limited ads that do not use cookies for personalisation. You can change your choice at any time from the privacy link in that message. Ads are not shown on private pages such as subscription confirmation or unsubscribe links.

Email briefings

If you request the NewsAgo Briefing, we store your email address, briefing preference, consent time, confirmation status and a one-way hash of the submitting network address for abuse prevention. Subscription remains inactive until you confirm by email. Operational data is stored outside the public website directory. The information is used only for NewsAgo email updates and is not sold. Every briefing includes a tokenised unsubscribe link for immediate removal; you may also request removal by emailing contact@newsago.com.

Browser-local preferences

The Follow this story feature stores selected story identifiers and last-seen update times in your browser. This information is not sent to NewsAgo and can be cleared from the homepage or through your browser settings.

RSS and external links

NewsAgo displays public information obtained from publisher feeds. Opening an original article takes you to an external publisher whose own privacy policy applies.

Legal rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete or object to processing of personal information. Browser privacy controls and content blockers can restrict analytics requests.
