How we use cookies
MediaChannel uses cookies for two purposes only: keeping the site working properly, and measuring anonymous readership data so we can improve our coverage across sports, business, life, and technology. We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising or to track you across other websites.
Types of cookies we use

- Analytics cookies: These collect anonymous information about how visitors navigate MediaChannel, such as which articles are most read and how long people spend on a page. The data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you. We use a privacy-focused analytics service with IP anonymisation enabled.
What we do not use cookies for
We do not set advertising cookies, behavioural tracking cookies, or any cookie that shares your data with social media networks or ad exchanges. MediaChannel is an editorial site and our cookie use reflects that.
