Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Gulf Herald ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit https://gulf-herald.com (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask you for personal information. Like most websites, our servers automatically log standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type, referring page and time of visit) for security and aggregate analytics. Third parties, including Google, may also collect data through cookies as described below.
2. Cookies and advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. To do this, Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies. In particular:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and other regions requiring consent, we present a consent banner and use Google Consent Mode. Until you accept, advertising and analytics cookies are set to "denied" and only non-personalised ads may be shown. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's cookies/local storage.

3. How we use information
We use technical log data to operate, secure and improve the Site, and to understand aggregate usage. Advertising data is processed by Google and its partners under their own privacy policies.

Gulf Herald is a news aggregator. Article summaries link to external publishers whose privacy practices we do not control. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit through our links.
5. Children's privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any such right, contact us using the details below.
