This Cookie Policy explains how YapeeNews (“YapeeNews,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://yapeenews.com.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow websites to recognize a device, remember user preferences, maintain website functionality, understand how services are used, and deliver or measure advertisements.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted.
2. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies placed directly by YapeeNews are known as first-party cookies. These cookies may be used to operate the website, remember your preferences, or support features such as article comments.
Cookies placed by external services are known as third-party cookies. For example, Google and its advertising partners may place or access cookies when Google AdSense advertisements are displayed on YapeeNews.
We do not directly control third-party cookies. Their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the third parties that provide them.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website and its essential features to function properly. They may be used to:
- Maintain website security;
- Prevent malicious or fraudulent activity;
- Remember your privacy and cookie-consent choices;
- Load and operate essential website features; and
- Maintain the stability of the website.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie-consent tool. You may still block them through your browser settings, but doing so may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.
Comment and Preference Cookies
YapeeNews provides an article-commenting feature through WordPress.
If you leave a comment and choose to save your information, cookies may remember your name, email address, and website address so that you do not need to enter those details again when submitting another comment.
These cookies are used for convenience and may remain on your device for up to approximately one year, depending on the website and browser configuration.
Please do not include sensitive personal information in public comments.
Advertising Cookies
YapeeNews uses Google AdSense to display advertisements.
Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to:
- Display advertisements on YapeeNews;
- Select advertisements based on general information, such as the content you are viewing or your approximate location;
- Personalize advertisements where permitted and where you have provided the required consent;
- Limit how often the same advertisement is displayed;
- Measure advertisement performance;
- Detect invalid traffic, fraud, abuse, and security threats; and
- Improve advertising services.
Google may use advertising cookies based on your previous visits to YapeeNews or other websites.
Depending on your location, consent choices, browser settings, and Google’s current technology, Google cookies may include identifiers such as NID, IDE, id, DSID, _gads, or similar cookies.
Rejecting personalized advertising cookies does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. You may continue to receive non-personalized or contextual advertisements based on factors such as the content of the page, your general location, and your current session.
Advertising Measurement and Security Cookies
Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to determine whether an advertisement was displayed or selected, measure advertising performance, limit repeated advertisements, and identify fraudulent or automated activity.
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they will be used only when permitted by applicable law and your consent choices.
4. Representative Cookie Information

5. Cookie Consent
For users in regions where consent is required, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, YapeeNews may display a cookie-consent message through a Google-certified Consent Management Platform.

Non-essential advertising cookies will be used only where permitted by applicable law and according to the choices you make through the consent message.

When you interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may place cookies or collect information about your device and activity. These third parties operate according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
YapeeNews does not control how external websites use their cookies or process your information.
