PRIVACY

Privacy policy

This page describes the Talipost site's current application behavior and planned advertising disclosures. The publisher must review it against the live hosting setup, the ad technology providers selected in AdSense, and the laws that apply to the publisher and its readers.

Reading Talipost

Readers can view published stories without creating an account. Talipost records an aggregate view total for each successfully loaded story so staff can see story performance. It does not store visitor identifiers or use analytics cookies for this count, and it does not represent unique visitors. The current site does not load Google Analytics, AdSense, or other advertising tags. Hosting providers may process technical request data under their own configuration; the publisher should add those details when confirmed.

Staff accounts and sessions

Staff account records include a username, display name, role, account status, creation date, and a password hash. The application stores newsroom accounts and stories in a SQLite database. Staff sign-in uses an HttpOnly session cookie named talipost.sid; session records are stored by the application and the cookie expires after eight hours.

Advertising cookies and third-party vendors

When Google AdSense is enabled, Google and other selected third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Advertising cookies can be used to show ads based on a reader's previous visits to this site or other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. This site does not currently load those advertising tags; this disclosure describes the planned use and must be checked against the vendors actually enabled before ads go live.

Readers can manage Google's personalized advertising settings at Google Ads Settings. Readers can also learn about and opt out of some participating companies' interest-based advertising at aboutads.info. For information about Google's advertising technologies, see Google's advertising privacy information.

Consent and regional choices

Google requires publishers serving personalized ads to readers in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to use a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF). Other ad modes have separate eligibility and consent requirements. No CMP is currently connected to this site, so the publisher must complete the appropriate AdSense and regional-consent setup before enabling ads for readers in these regions. See Google's consent management requirements for current details.

Retention and privacy requests

Talipost is owned by Talemwa Moses. The application does not define an automatic retention or deletion schedule. The owner must set a retention policy and provide a verified contact channel for privacy requests. A separate legal publisher/entity name, applicable jurisdiction, and privacy contact details have not been supplied; these must be confirmed before this policy is treated as complete.
