Channel i Online (www.channelionline.com) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, why we collect it, who it may be shared with, and what choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
a. Information you provide
- Newsletter sign-ups and contact forms: name, email address, phone number (if supplied) and your message.

We never request banking, credit card or national identity document details through this website.
2. How We Use Information
- To deliver our content and operate the website
- To understand reader interests and improve our content and layout
- To serve advertising, measure ad performance and prevent fraud
- To send newsletters or information you have requested
- To respond to your questions, requests or complaints
- To protect the security of the site and comply with legal obligations
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser that help a website recognise your device on return visits. We and our authorised partners use:
- Essential cookies — required for the site to function correctly.
- Analytics cookies — to understand which content readers engage with (for example, Google Analytics).
- Advertising cookies — to serve relevant ads, limit how often the same ad is shown, and measure ad performance.
You can delete or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
4. Third-Party Advertising and Cookies
Important disclosure: Third-party vendors and ad networks, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons and IP addresses to collect information, as a result of ad serving on this website. Channel i Online does not control the information collected by these third parties.
- Google is used as a third-party vendor to serve ads on this site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
- Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- For details on how Google uses data in advertising, see policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
- To opt out of other third-party vendors’ use of cookies, visit the Network Advertising Initiative or YourAdChoices.
Channel i Online also operates its own ad server (Revive Adserver) to deliver directly sold advertising. It may set first-party cookies to count impressions and clicks and to control ad frequency. This data is used only for ad delivery and reporting.
5. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how readers use the site — which articles are read, what devices are used, and similar patterns. This data is analysed in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally. See the Google Privacy Policy for more. You may opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
6. Embedded Content and External Links
Our articles may include embedded content such as YouTube videos, Facebook or X (Twitter) posts. Embedded content loads directly from those platforms and may set its own cookies and tracking, exactly as if you had visited that platform directly. Their privacy policies govern that activity, and Channel i Online is not responsible for it. Likewise, when you follow an external link from our site, the privacy policy of the destination website applies.
7. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared only:
- With advertising, analytics and hosting service providers, strictly to operate our services
- Where required by law, court order or a valid government request
- Where necessary to protect our rights, user safety or the security of the site
8. Users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
For readers in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we follow Google’s EU User Consent Policy. A consent management platform (CMP) requests your consent for the use of cookies and for personalised advertising. Where consent is not given, non-personalised ads are served. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time. Where applicable, you have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing.
9. US State Privacy Rights
Residents of US states with applicable privacy laws, including California, may request that their personal information not be “sold” or “shared” for cross-context behavioural advertising. To make such a request, contact us using the details below.
10. Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that such information has been collected inadvertently, we will delete it promptly.
11. Data Retention and Security
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognised automatically. We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, including HTTPS encryption and restricted administrative access. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Your Choices
- Unsubscribe from newsletters at any time using the link in each email.
- Delete or block cookies through your browser settings.
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the data we hold about you by writing to the address below.
