Cookie Policy
Last updated: 16 July 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function correctly, remember your preferences, and, where you consent, measure traffic and personalise advertising. This policy explains the categories of cookies used on The Beacon Times and how you can control them.
2. Consent Mode
This site implements Google's Consent Mode v2. By default, all non-essential cookies - including advertising and analytics cookies - are set to "denied" until you make an active choice in our cookie banner. Only strictly necessary cookies and basic functionality/security cookies are active by default. When you accept optional categories, we update consent signals accordingly; when you reject them, no advertising or analytics cookies are set.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary: required for core site functionality, such as remembering your cookie preference and securing form submissions. These cannot be disabled.
Functionality: remember settings such as your preferred display options.
Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the site, via Google Analytics, only if you consent.
Marketing/advertising: used by Google Ads for remarketing and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, only if you consent.

Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through their own settings menus.
6. Third-Party Cookies
