Cookie Policy

Last Updated: Loading…

This Cookie Policy explains how Fact Flows (“we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website (https://factflow.me/). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and serve targeted advertising.

Cookies set by the website owner (Fact Flows) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Why do we use Cookies?

We use first and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site, and to serve relevant advertisements that keep our news coverage free for readers.

The types of cookies we use fall into the following categories:

• Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas or leaving comments on articles.
• Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
• Analytics and Customization Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used, or to help us customize our website for you.

3. WordPress and Third-Party Media

Because Fact Flows is built on the WordPress platform, specific cookies are used when you interact with our content:

• Comments: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
• Embedded Content: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, tweets, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you have visited the other website. These websites may set their own cookies to track your interaction with their content.

4. How can I control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

5. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated.
