A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. This page sets out which ones thetechabc.com uses and what they are for.
The categories we use
- Strictly necessary — needed for pages to load, cache and stay secure. These cannot be switched off.
- Preferences — remember choices such as light or dark reading mode, and your details if you opt in when commenting.
- Analytics — tell us in aggregate which articles are read. Not used to identify you.
- Advertising — set by advertising partners, Google included, to measure and sometimes personalise the ads you see.
Third parties
Advertising and analytics partners set their own cookies, which we do not control. Google describes its advertising cookies in its advertising policies; you can opt out of personalised ads in Google Ads Settings.
Turning them off
Every major browser can show, block and delete cookies. Blocking analytics and advertising cookies will not stop you reading anything. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
