Privacy & Cookie Policy

Effective date: 30 October 2026

This policy explains how The Daily Globe ("we", "us") handles personal data when you use this website, in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

1. Who we are

The data controller for this website is Omar Abdirahman Mohamed, trading as The Daily Globe ("we", "us"), based in the United Kingdom. Contact: cumar9911@gmail.com.

2. What data we collect

• Usage data: pages viewed, approximate location (country/city from IP address), device and browser type and referring site, collected through server logs and (if you agree) analytics cookies.
• Advertising data: cookie identifiers and similar technologies used by our advertising partners, described below.
• Information you send us: if you email us, your email address and message.

We do not ask you to create an account and we do not sell your personal data.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:

• Strictly necessary cookies, such as the one that remembers your cookie choice. These don't need consent.
• Analytics cookies (optional) to understand how the site is used.
• Advertising cookies (optional) set by Google and its partners to show and measure ads.

Optional cookies are only set if you click "Accept all" in our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings or by clearing cookies in your browser.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to show advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info and www.youronlinechoices.eu. If you reject advertising cookies, you may still see non-personalised ads, which use cookies only for frequency capping, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention.

Find out more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

5. Lawful basis

We rely on your consent for optional analytics and advertising cookies, and on our legitimate interests for running and securing the website (for example, server logs used to prevent abuse).

6. Sharing and international transfers

We share data with service providers who help us run the site (hosting, analytics and advertising, including Google). Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or adequacy regulations apply.

7. How long we keep data

Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period (typically no more than 30 days). Your cookie choice is remembered for 6 months. Emails are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. Email cumar9911@gmail.com to exercise these rights. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

9. Links to other websites

Our stories link to third-party publishers. Their sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.

10. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

11. Changes

We may update this policy and will change the effective date above when we do.
