Last updated: 24 April 2026.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on tiznit.net, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

A "cookie" is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies allow a site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, or to distinguish you from other users for analytics purposes. This policy also covers similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, local storage, and device identifiers.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Tiznit.net uses cookies in the following broad categories:

Category Purpose Examples on this site
Strictly necessary Needed for the site to load and function safely. These do not require consent. Basic session cookies, security cookies.
Analytics Help us understand in aggregate how readers use the site so we can improve content and navigation. Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat).
Advertising Used by advertising networks to serve ads, including personalised ads where permitted, and to measure ad performance. Google AdSense, Google DoubleClick (e.g. IDE, __gads, __gpi, NID).

Exact cookie names, durations, and providers can change as third-party services are updated. This list is indicative rather than exhaustive.

4. Third-Party Advertising Vendors

Third-party advertising networks and their partners may set their own cookies when advertisements are shown on Tiznit.net. These vendors set cookies to:

  • Serve ads based on prior visits to this site and other sites.
  • Measure the performance of ads (impressions, clicks, conversions).
  • Detect and prevent fraudulent ad activity.

We do not control the cookies set by third-party vendors. Please consult each vendor's own privacy notice for details.

5. How to Opt Out and Control Cookies

5.1 Personalised advertising

You can opt out of personalised advertising by Google, on all Google services and on sites using its ad technologies, at Google Ads Settings. Disabling personalised ads does not stop ads from showing — it means the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests.

You can also opt out of many third-party advertising networks at once via:

5.2 Analytics

To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5.3 Browser controls

Most browsers let you manage cookies through their settings: block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or run in private/incognito mode. See your browser's help pages for details. Instructions for common browsers:

Blocking all cookies may stop some parts of Tiznit.net from working normally, but it will not prevent you from reading articles.

6. Consent

Where required by applicable law (for example under EU/UK ePrivacy rules), Tiznit.net will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising). You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing cookies in your browser and refreshing the page, or by using the opt-out options described above.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because without them the site cannot function.

7. Do Not Track

Browsers may send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Tiznit.net does not alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but you can still use the opt-out tools described above.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the services we use or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the most recent change.
