Cookie Policy

Effective Date: May 1, 2026

Butternews uses cookies and similar browser storage for site operation, analytics, advertising, and personalization.

Essential Cookies

These support session continuity, login state, security, and basic site functionality.

Analytics Cookies and Signals

When consent allows, Butternews records page visits, referrers, session IDs, engagement events, and similar first-party behavior signals so we can understand readership quality and improve editorial decisions.

Advertising Cookies

Advertising technologies may be used to serve, measure, and limit the frequency of ads. Google AdSense and other providers may use cookies or local storage for those purposes, subject to their own policies.

Personalization

With broader consent, Butternews may use reading behavior such as visited categories, languages, countries, clicks, and recirculation patterns to improve article recommendations and feed ordering.

Your Choice

You can choose between Essential Only and Accept All Cookies in the site banner. If you want to change your preference later, clear the rich_cookie_consent cookie or use browser controls.

CMP Readiness

Current consent mode in Rich: Custom banner only (status: placeholder).

For production monetization in regions such as the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Butternews should use a Google-certified CMP when required.
