Effective Date: August 20, 2026 • Last Updated: August 20, 2026
1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your web browser by websites you visit. HTML5 Local Storage is a modern web standard allowing websites to store key-value data directly in your browser without transmitting it to remote servers on every HTTP request.
2. How GovIndiaNews Uses Local Storage
GovIndiaNews utilizes HTML5 Local Storage strictly for essential user interface performance:
- Dark Mode Preference: When you click the theme toggle button, we save your preference key (
govindianews_theme_pref) in your local storage so the site automatically renders in your preferred light or dark theme when you return.
3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies
To fund our independent publishing operations, GovIndiaNews may display programmatic advertisements via Google AdSense. Google and its ad technology partners may place third-party advertising cookies on your browser to measure ad delivery and personalize ad choices based on your interests.
4. Managing & Disabling Cookies in Your Browser
You can control or disable cookies and local storage through your web browser settings. Note that disabling essential local storage may cause your dark mode preference to reset upon page refresh.
