We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically when you browse the site.

- Newsletter sign-up: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
- Contact forms: If you contact us via our contact or complaints form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.

- Cookies and tracking technologies: We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing behaviour. See Section 5 for full details.
- Device information: We may collect information about the device you use to access the site, including hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content
- To send newsletters and editorial updates to subscribers (only with your consent)
- To respond to enquiries, complaints, and contact form submissions
- To analyse site traffic and user behaviour through analytics tools
- To display personalised and non-personalised advertisements via Google AdSense
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, spam, and fraudulent activity
- To comply with legal obligations
Our legal basis for processing your data is legitimate interests (operating the website and analytics), consent (newsletters, personalised advertising cookies), and legal obligation where applicable.
Google AdSense & Advertising
Celebrity News Magazine uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited for users in the EEA/UK).
Important: Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalised advertising.
How Google AdSense Works
Google uses the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads across its network of publisher sites. When you visit our site, Google may set a cookie in your browser. This cookie stores information about your browsing activity (not your personal identity) to help serve ads that are relevant to your interests.
What Google Collects
- Pages you visit on our site
- Your approximate geographic location (country/city level)
- Browser type and device type
- Interest categories inferred from your browsing behaviour
Opting Out of Personalised Ads
You can opt out of personalised advertising by Google in the following ways:
- Visit Google Ads Settings to manage your ad preferences
- Visit aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies
- Visit Your Online Choices (UK) for additional opt-out options
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
Please note that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it means the ads shown to you will be less relevant to your interests (non-personalised ads).
