Cookies
No trackers. Really.
Exactly what the Asian Times stores in your browser, and why — the whole list fits in one table.
01The short version
The Asian Times doesn't set advertising or analytics cookies, and there's no cookie banner because there's nothing to consent to. The only thing we keep in your browser is the newsletter choices you make yourself.
02What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to keep. Local storage is a similar feature that lets a site remember things on your device without sending them back with every request. Both can be used helpfully — remembering a setting — or to track people across the web. We only use them for the first.
03What we store
| Name | Type | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
at-newsletters | Local storage | Remembers the newsletters you picked and the email you entered on the Newsletters page | Until you clear it |
04What we don't use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No analytics cookies or cross-site trackers.
- No social-media tracking pixels or embedded “like” buttons that report your visit.
- No third-party market-data requests from your browser — prices are fetched by our own servers (see the privacy policy).
05Links to other sites
When you follow a link to another website — a photo credit on Wikimedia Commons, or one of our social profiles — that site's own cookie policy applies.
06How to control them
You can clear or block cookies and local storage at any time in your browser's settings. Clearing site data for this website removes your saved newsletter choices; everything else on the site works exactly the same.
07Changes
If we ever introduce cookies that aren't strictly necessary, we'll list them here first and ask for your consent before setting them. Questions? Write to privacy@asiantimes.org.
