NewsPrism.co.uk and Prism House Media Ltd. are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use information when you visit our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. By continuing to browse NewsPrism.co.uk, you agree to the use of essential cookies. For all other categories, we require your consent, particularly for visitors based in the UK and the European Union.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences — such as login details, language settings, and font size — over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return or navigate from page to page. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.
Categories of Cookies We Use
We group cookies into the following categories to help you understand their purpose:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the core functionality of NewsPrism.co.uk. They enable you to navigate the site, access secure areas (such as our newsletter sign-up), and use basic features. Without these cookies, certain services cannot be provided. Essential cookies do not require your prior consent.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies, including those from services like Google Analytics, to collect aggregated data about how visitors interact with our site — such as which pages are most popular, how long users stay, and any error messages encountered. This information helps us improve the performance, usability, and content of NewsPrism.co.uk. These cookies are non-essential and are placed only with your consent.
Advertising and Affiliate Tracking Cookies
NewsPrism.co.uk is funded in part through display advertising and affiliate links. Affiliate tracking cookies allow us to credit partner retailers or advertisers when you click on an affiliate link and subsequently make a purchase. These cookies are non-essential and require your consent. They do not identify you personally and do not collect sensitive data. For more detail, please see our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
Embedded Media Cookies
Our articles may include embedded content from third-party platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, and social media networks (for example, X, LinkedIn, or Instagram). When you interact with this embedded media, those providers may set their own cookies to track your usage. We do not control these cookies, and you should consult the relevant platform’s privacy policy for further information. These cookies are non-essential and are only activated with your consent.
Consent and How to Change Your Preferences
For UK and EU visitors, we request your consent before placing any non-essential cookies. When you first arrive on NewsPrism.co.uk, you will see a clear cookie consent banner where you can accept all, decline all, or customise your preferences. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link available in the footer of every page. Additionally, you can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies — please note that this may affect the functionality of our site. Instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers can be found on their respective support pages.
Retention
Cookies placed on your device will remain there for differing periods. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set duration defined by the cookie (typically up to 12 months for analytics cookies and up to 30 days for affiliate tracking cookies). After this period, they are automatically removed or renewed upon your next visit, subject to your current consent.
Relation to Our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle any personal data we collect through cookies or other means. Our Privacy Policy provides further detail on your rights, data retention, and how to exercise control over your information.
