Last Updated: September 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Hudson Tribune ("we," "us," "our," or "Hudson Tribune") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on https://hudsontribune.com/ (the "Site"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until deleted).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly, such as enabling core features, security, and network management. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies, and they do not require consent under applicable law.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information anonymously, such as pages visited, time spent on the Site, and any error messages encountered. This helps us improve the Site's performance and content.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language or region) to provide a more personalized experience.

2.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

We use advertising cookies through Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks, as well as through direct-sold static advertisements, to deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance. These cookies may track your browsing activity across other websites. For more information, see our Advertising Policy.

3. Cookie Consent Management

Hudson Tribune uses CookieYes, a cookie consent management platform, to obtain and manage your cookie preferences in compliance with applicable law. When you first visit the Site, a consent banner will appear allowing you to accept, reject, or customize your cookie preferences by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings icon/link available on the Site, typically located in the footer.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Site are placed by third parties, including but not limited to:

• Google AdSense/Google Ads: For serving and measuring advertising.
• Analytics Providers: Such as Google Analytics, to help us understand Site traffic and usage patterns.
• Social Media Platforms: If our Site includes social sharing buttons or embedded content (such as social media posts), those platforms may set their own cookies.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review the respective third parties' privacy and cookie policies for more information on how they use cookies.

5. Your Cookie Choices

You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used:

• Consent Banner: Use our CookieYes consent banner to accept, reject, or customize cookie categories.
• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
• Opt-Out Tools: For advertising cookies, you may also opt out via Google Ads Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. Our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no industry-standard approach to honoring them. However, our CookieYes consent tool allows you to manage your cookie preferences directly.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our data practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
