What the browser stores, what third parties read, and how to control it.

Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how AI News Silo uses cookies and similar browser-side technologies, including local storage, JavaScript tags, pixels, and third-party scripts. This page is about tracker behavior on the site. Broader information handling is covered in the Privacy Policy.

What the Site Uses

AI News Silo uses two main third-party services that can rely on cookies or similar tracker methods: PostHog for analytics and Google AdSense for advertising.

Those services can use browser-side storage, script execution, and ordinary request data to recognize visits, measure activity, understand traffic patterns, and deliver or evaluate ads.

Types of Trackers

The tracker activity on AI News Silo falls into a few practical categories.

• Cookies. Small pieces of browser data that can help a service recognize a browser across requests or visits.
• Local storage and related browser storage. Data kept in the browser outside traditional cookies, often used by analytics or advertising systems.
• JavaScript tags and pixels. Third-party scripts or lightweight measurement elements that run in the page and report activity back to analytics or advertising systems.
• Request-level identifiers. IP address, referrer, device details, and similar technical data sent automatically when the browser requests a page, script, image, or ad.

Analytics and Measurement

PostHog is used to measure how the site is used. The implementation records page views, page leaves, autocaptured site activity, and explicit tracked events such as navigation clicks and source-link clicks.

The PostHog configuration disables session recording and surveys. It still uses analytics data to measure site activity, reading flow, and route performance.

Advertising and Ad Delivery

Google AdSense loads on the site to serve advertising. AdSense and its partners can use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to deliver ads, limit repetition, personalize ad selection, and measure ad performance.

Ads and ad-related requests can involve third-party calls that set or read their own identifiers. Those systems are governed by Google's policies and the policies of participating ad partners.

How to Manage Trackers

AI News Silo does not provide an on-site tracker settings panel or account-level privacy dashboard. Tracker controls live in your browser, your device settings, or third-party vendor tools.

You can clear cookies, block third-party cookies, restrict site storage, or use private browsing modes through your browser settings. Blocking trackers can reduce ad personalization and measurement, and some third-party behavior may stop working as intended.

Browser Controls and Opt-Outs

Readers who want tighter tracker controls can use standard browser and ad-platform tools.

• Your browser and device settings can clear stored data, block third-party cookies, and limit site storage.
• Google Ad Settings
• Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out
