Cookie Policy
The cookies used on abroadxo.com, what they do, and how to control them.
This Cookie Policy explains how abroadxo.com uses cookies and similar technologies (together, “cookies”). It supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. It lets the site remember things between pages and visits — for example that you dismissed a banner, or which ad has already been shown to you. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels.
The categories we use
- Strictly necessary — keep the site working, remember your cookie consent choice. These cannot be switched off from the Site.
- Analytics (consent-based where required) — count visits and page views in aggregate so we know which stories are read.
- Advertising — support the ads that fund the Site, including frequency capping and, where you consent, personalisation.
Third-party advertising cookies
Ads on abroadxo are served through Google Ad Manager and Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies when you visit the Site, including the DoubleClick cookie and the Google Advertising ID on mobile. These cookies measure ad performance, limit how often you see the same ad, and — with your consent where required — make ads more relevant based on your activity on this and other sites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time:
- Google Ads Settings — adssettings.google.com
- Digital Advertising Alliance (US) — aboutads.info/choices
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance — youradchoices.eu
- Network Advertising Initiative — networkadvertising.org/choices
Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either wholesale or per-site. Look for “Content settings” or “Privacy” in your browser's settings. Blocking necessary cookies may break parts of the Site; blocking advertising cookies will not stop ads entirely, but the ads you see will be less relevant.
Consent for EEA/UK visitors
Visitors from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom are shown a consent banner before analytics and advertising cookies are set. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing your cookies for this site and reloading the page, which will show the banner again.
