Email service providers may process or retain information according to their own policies and technical arrangements.
5. Automatically Collected Technical Information
When you access our website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by our hosting environment or website services.
Depending on the services involved, this may include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device and operating system information
- Requested pages and URLs
- Date and time of requests
- Referring website or source
- Technical diagnostic and error information
Such information may be processed for website delivery, security, troubleshooting, performance monitoring and analytics.
The exact information processed depends on the technical configuration of the website and the services used.
6. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with Bangla Newspapers and to evaluate website traffic and usage patterns.
Analytics information may include:
- Pages viewed
- Approximate visit duration
- Browser and device information
- Referring sources
- General geographic information
- Website interactions and events
Google Analytics may use first-party cookies and other identifiers to measure website activity, depending on the consent state and configuration of our Google tags.
We use Google Consent Mode to communicate consent states to supported Google tags so that their behavior can be adjusted according to the configured consent choices.
Depending on the implementation:
- When analytics storage is granted, Google Analytics may use measurement cookies.
- When analytics storage is denied, Google tags limit cookie-based analytics storage. In an advanced Consent Mode implementation, certain cookieless measurement signals may still be sent.
- In a basic Consent Mode implementation, Google tags may be blocked until the required consent is granted.
Consent Mode is a technical mechanism for communicating consent states. It is not, by itself, a consent banner or a user-facing preference interface.
Google may process information according to its own privacy and data-processing practices. For more information, please review Google's policies:
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites or services may store in a visitor's browser.
Bangla Newspapers does not require cookies for user registration or account login because we do not operate a public account system.
However, Google Analytics may use first-party cookies for measurement when the relevant analytics consent state and configuration permit it.
Our use of Google Consent Mode allows supported Google tags to adjust their behavior according to the consent signals configured on the website.
You may also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website or third-party service functionality.
The availability of a consent banner or preference control depends on the consent interface implemented on the website. Consent Mode alone does not provide such an interface.
8. Information Sharing and Third-party Services
We do not sell or rent visitors' personal information.
We may allow relevant service providers to process information when necessary to operate and maintain the website. These may include:
- Website hosting and infrastructure providers
- Email delivery and email service providers
- Google Analytics and related Google services
- Website security and technical service providers, where used
Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law, a valid legal request or to protect the rights, security and legitimate interests of the website and its users.
Service providers may process information on systems located in Bangladesh or other countries, subject to their respective terms, policies and applicable legal requirements.
9. External Websites
Our directory and media profiles contain links to external websites operated by newspapers, online news portals, television channels, radio stations, news agencies and other organizations.
When you follow an external link, you leave Bangla Newspapers and become subject to the privacy policy and practices of the destination website.
We do not control how third-party websites collect, use or store personal information.
We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of external websites before sharing personal information with them.
10. Data Retention
We retain submitted information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including handling inquiries, reviewing submissions, resolving reported issues, maintaining administrative records and meeting applicable legal obligations.
Form-related emails may remain in our email account or service-provider systems according to their retention and backup arrangements.
Google Analytics data retention is also subject to the settings of our Analytics property and Google's applicable policies.
When information is no longer required, we may delete it or take reasonable steps to remove or anonymize it, where appropriate and technically possible.
11. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect information handled through our website and administrative processes.
These measures may include secure website connections, restricted administrative access, appropriate account security and the use of reputable hosting and email services.
However, no website, email transmission or online storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot promise absolute protection against every possible security incident.
