Your privacy is important to us. It is NewscastWeb’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website, NewscastWeb, and other sites we own and operate.
We only ask for personal information when we truly need it to provide a service to you (for example, answering a support request or sending an optional newsletter). We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we are collecting it and how it will be used.
We retain collected information only as long as necessary to provide you with your requested service. Any data we store is protected within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft and unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
Information Sharing with Third Parties
We do not share personally identifying information publicly, except when required to by law. However, our website uses third-party services—such as advertising partners (Google AdSense) and analytics providers (Google Analytics)—that may collect information to identify you or deliver a personalised experience.
Advertising: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices.
Analytics: We use services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our site. These services may collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs and pages visited. The data is aggregated to help us improve the site.
Our website may link to external sites that are not operated by us. We have no control over the content and practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
You are free to refuse our request for your personal information, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services. You can also manage your cookie preferences as described in our Cookie Policy below.
Your continued use of our website will be regarded as acceptance of our practices around privacy and personal information. If you have any questions about how we handle user data, contact us at contact@newscastweb.com.

This is the Cookie Policy for NewscastWeb, accessible from https://newscastweb.com/.
What Are Cookies
As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies—tiny files downloaded to your computer—to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We also share how you can prevent cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or break certain elements of the site’s functionality.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are unsure whether you need them, in case they are required to provide a service you use.
Disabling Cookies
You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting your browser settings (consult your browser’s Help section for how to do this). Disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit and may disable certain features of this site.
Users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK and Switzerland are presented with a consent-management platform to manage advertising cookies before they are set.
The Cookies We Set

Email newsletter cookies: If you subscribe to optional e-mails, cookies may remember your subscription status and show relevant messages.
Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics: Widely used analytics solution that helps us understand how you use the site and ways we can improve. These cookies may track how long you spend on the site and the pages you visit.
Advertising cookies (e.g., Google AdSense): Used to show relevant ads. Google uses cookies (formerly including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites. You may opt out via Google Ad Settings or aboutads.info/choices. Learn more about how Google uses data at Google Privacy & Terms.
Feature-testing cookies: We sometimes test new features and changes to the site; cookies ensure you receive a consistent experience while we analyse which optimisations users appreciate.
Social media cookies: Social-media buttons or plugins may set cookies to enhance your profile on their platforms. These include, but are not limited to, Facebook, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn, and operate under their own privacy policies.
Children’s Privacy
Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13 (or a higher age if stipulated by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that a child has provided us Personal Data without parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.
