COOKIE POLICY

Purpose Of This Page

Horizon Report uses a limited number of cookies and similar technologies to ensure reliable site operation, maintain security, understand general performance, and support advertising where enabled. This page explains which cookies may be used, why they are used, and how readers can manage their preferences.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is accessed. Some cookies are strictly necessary for core functionality, while others help measure usage patterns or support advertising delivery. Cookies do not directly identify a person by name, but they may contain unique identifiers associated with a browser or device.

Cookies Used By Horizon Report

Horizon Report follows a restrained and purpose driven approach to cookies. Any cookies that appear on this site generally fall into the categories outlined below.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for basic site functionality, page delivery, and security protection. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not function correctly. Essential cookies are not used for advertising profiling or cross site tracking.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies may store simple settings such as display or reading preferences when such options are available. These cookies are intended to improve reading comfort and accessibility. They do not store sensitive personal information and are not used for advertising purposes.

You can review or change your cookie preferences at any time using the controls below.

Analytics And Performance Cookies

Like many modern editorial sites, Horizon Report may rely on aggregated performance measurement to understand how pages load, how readers navigate the site, and where technical improvements are needed. When used, analytics data is processed in an aggregated and trend based manner rather than for individual identification.

Advertising Cookies And Google AdSense

Horizon Report may display advertising delivered by third party services such as Google AdSense. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and personalize advertising in accordance with their own policies. Horizon Report does not directly control third party advertising cookies and does not store advertising profile data on its own servers.

Depending on geographic location, browser settings, and consent choices, advertisements may be contextual or may rely on limited personalization provided by third party platforms. Where required by law, consent tools are provided to allow visitors to manage advertising and measurement preferences.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow users to delete existing cookies, block cookies entirely, or limit certain types of tracking. These controls are usually found within browser privacy or security settings. Restricting cookies may affect site functionality or prevent some features from working as intended.

When a consent banner is present on Horizon Report, it can be used to manage analytics and advertising preferences directly. Advertising preferences related to Google services may also be managed through Google’s ad settings.

Third Party Services

Some site features may involve third party services such as embedded media, security tools, analytics platforms, or advertising delivery. These providers may place cookies under their own privacy policies. Readers are encouraged to review the privacy documentation of any third party service they interact with.

Relationship To Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy forms part of the broader privacy framework of Horizon Report. Additional information about data handling principles and user rights is available in the Privacy Policy.

Updates To This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect technical changes, legal requirements, or platform updates. The most current version will always be published on this page.
