This Cookie Policy explains how Times Chicago LLC (“Times Chicago,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://www.timeschicago.com/ (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. This policy is a template and must be checked against the cookies, scripts, advertising tools, analytics services, and other technologies actually enabled on the Website.
2. Why We May Use Cookies
Depending on the features enabled on the Website, Times Chicago may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the Website, maintain security, remember preferences, measure traffic, understand reader engagement, improve performance, support embedded media, and measure advertising or promotional campaigns.
We will use these technologies only in ways that are permitted by applicable law and consistent with any consent or choice requirements that apply.
3. Categories of Cookies
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These may be needed for core website functions, security, network management, or features you request. If required for the Website to operate, they may not be available for disabling through a cookie preference tool, although browser settings may allow you to block them.
Preference or Functional Cookies: These may remember settings such as language, region, or display preferences to make future visits more convenient.
Analytics and Performance Cookies: If enabled, these may help us understand visitor numbers, page views, referral sources, navigation patterns, and Website performance. We may use this information to improve our content and services.
Advertising and Measurement Cookies: If enabled, these may help measure advertisements or campaigns, limit repeated ads, or understand whether an advertisement led to a visit or other action. Advertising providers may use information collected through their technologies under their own policies.
Social Media and Embedded Content Technologies: Content such as videos, social media posts, or other embedded features may use technologies controlled by the relevant third party. Those providers may collect information according to their own policies.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the Website or the domain you are visiting. Third-party cookies or similar technologies may be set or operated by external providers whose services appear on, support, or measure the Website.
The identity of third-party providers depends on the Website’s actual configuration. Before publishing this Policy, Times Chicago should list the specific analytics, advertising, video, social media, consent-management, and other providers currently in use, along with links to their privacy information where appropriate.
5. Cookie Duration
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Actual duration varies according to the cookie’s purpose and the provider that sets it.
Times Chicago should maintain an accurate cookie inventory showing each cookie or technology, its provider, purpose, category, and retention period where that information is available.
6. Your Cookie Choices
Where available, you may use the Website’s cookie banner or preference centre to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. Your available choices may depend on your location and applicable law.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some Website features may not work as intended.
Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies should not be activated before the required consent is obtained. You should be able to change or withdraw your choice using the cookie settings made available on the Website, where required by law.
7. Browser and Privacy Signals
Some browsers offer privacy settings or signals intended to communicate preferences about online tracking. The effect of these signals depends on applicable law and the technologies in use. Where the Website is legally required to recognize a specific signal, Times Chicago will handle it as required.
Before publication, confirm whether the Website’s consent-management system supports relevant privacy signals and describe that functionality accurately.
