Privacy exclusive
Yes, we use cookies too.
Not the ones you’re thinking of. Here’s exactly what we collect when you’re on Celeb News Magazine, why, and how to change your mind whenever you like.
The short version
Celeb News Magazine uses cookies and similar technologies to run the site, understand which stories you actually read, and — because journalism doesn’t pay for itself — show ads that fund the gossip. You choose what you’re comfortable with below. Essential cookies can’t be switched off, because without them the site simply won’t load properly.Manage my cookie preferencesAccept all cookies
What counts as a cookie here
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device so it can remember something between visits — that you’re logged in, that you dismissed a pop-up, or that you already saw today’s Love Island recap. We also use a couple of close cousins: local storage (works the same way, lives a bit longer) and pixels from partners like ad networks and social platforms, which behave similarly for tracking purposes.
The categories, honestly explained
| Category | What it actually does | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps pages loading, remembers your cookie choice itself, protects the site from abuse, and keeps your session working if you comment or subscribe. | Always on |
| Analytics & performance | Tells us which headlines actually get clicked, where people drop off, and whether the site is fast enough — via tools such as Google Analytics. | Optional |
| Advertising | Used by our ad partners and networks to show ads that are more relevant than random, and to measure whether an ad campaign actually worked. | Optional |
| Social & embedded content | Lets embedded Instagram, TikTok and X posts load properly inside articles, and powers our share buttons. | Optional |
Who else gets a look-in
Some cookies are set by companies other than us when you use features on our pages — think embedded social posts, ad exchanges, or an affiliate link to where you can buy something a celebrity wore. Turning off a category above blocks the related third-party cookies too. We don’t sell your browsing history; advertising partners use cookies to serve and measure ads, which is a different thing, and you can limit it in the preferences panel.
Changing your mind later
Your choice is saved to this browser, not to some dossier with your name on it. You can reopen your preferences at any time from the link in the site footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser settings, which resets everything back to asking you again.Open cookie preferences
