Cookies Policy
Last updated: February 2025
This policy describes how Paxa Media (“we”) use cookies and similar technologies on the Signal News website and client portal (together, the “site”). It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work (e.g. keeping you logged in), to remember preferences, and to understand how the site is used. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage or session storage where relevant.
2. Cookies we use
2.1 Strictly necessary
These are essential for the site to function. They include, for example, session or authentication tokens so you can stay signed in to the client portal, and security-related cookies. You cannot turn these off without losing core functionality (e.g. login).
| Name / type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| portal_token (local storage) | Stores your portal session token after login | Until you sign out or it expires |
2.2 Analytics and performance
We may use analytics (e.g. Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, traffic sources). This helps us improve the site. These cookies may be first-party or third-party; we configure them to minimise identification where possible (e.g. IP anonymisation). You can control or opt out via your browser settings or the third party’s tools (e.g. Google’s opt-out).
2.3 Preference and marketing
If we use cookies to remember your preferences (e.g. language or region) or for marketing (e.g. retargeting), we will describe them here and, where required by law, ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
3. How to manage cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; note that blocking all cookies may prevent the portal login and some features from working. For analytics, you can use browser add-ons (e.g. Google Analytics Opt-out) or our cookie preferences if we offer a consent banner. For more information, see your browser’s help section or aboutcookies.org.
4. Updates
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the site. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
