Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 12, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how TNG Games uses them at https://thenewsglobal.com, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They contain only text and data.

These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled without impacting site functionality.

|---|---|---|
| Session cookie (PHPSESSID) | Maintains your session state (e.g., contact form CSRF protection) | Session (deleted when browser closes) |

Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
TNG Games displays advertising served through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history and interests across websites.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads
Personalized advertising: Uses your browsing history to show relevant ads. Requires cookies that track behavior across websites.
Non-personalized advertising: Uses contextual signals (page content, general location) only. Does not track individual users across websites.
You can manage your ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
3. Third-Party Cookies
When you click a link to a game on our site, you leave TNG Games and are subject to that platform's own cookie policy. We do not control cookies set by third-party game platforms.
Additionally, our CDN providers and analytics partners may set their own cookies. Their data practices are governed by their respective privacy policies.
4. How to Manage and Disable Cookies
You can manage cookie preferences in multiple ways:
Browser Settings
All modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Here are links to instructions for popular browsers:
Opt Out of Google Advertising Cookies
- Visit Google Ads Settings
- Use the Your Online Choices tool (EU)
- Visit Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out (US)
5. Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling essential cookies may prevent the contact form from functioning correctly (CSRF protection requires a session cookie).
Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to browse or use the site.
Disabling advertising cookies means you will still see ads, but they will be non-personalized (contextual only). You will not see ads that are tailored to your interests.
6. Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. TNG Games does not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no universally agreed standard for how they should be interpreted.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
