Introduction

The New York Times Company ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information that applies to our website and services (collectively, "Services"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit or use our Services, we automatically collect certain information about your device and your activity. This information is primarily technical and usage data, which may include:

IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. This helps us understand your general location and protect against fraudulent activity.
Browser Type: Information about the web browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), including its version and settings.
Operating System: Details about the operating system on your device (e.g., Windows, macOS, Android, iOS), including its version.
Pages Visited: Information about the specific pages you visit on our Services, the order of pages visited, the time spent on those pages, and the date and time of your visits. This helps us understand user engagement and improve our content.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like beacons, tags, and scripts) to track the activity on our Services and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. We use these technologies for various purposes, including:

Authentication: To identify you when you sign in to our Services, keeping you logged in as you navigate.
Preferences: To remember your preferences and settings, such as language or region.
Analytics: To help us understand how users engage with our Services, measure traffic and usage patterns, identify popular content, and improve our offerings.
Advertising: To deliver relevant advertisements to you based on your interests and browsing behavior.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Services effectively.

Third-Party Services

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services ("Service Providers"), to provide the Services on our behalf, to perform Service-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how our Services are used. These third parties have access to your automatically collected information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Examples of such third-party services include analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) and advertising partners. These third parties may have their own privacy policies that govern the use of your information.

Advertising

We partner with third-party advertising companies to display advertisements on our Services and manage our advertising on other sites. These third-party advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your activities across our Services and other sites and services over time to provide you with interest-based advertising. This means you may see advertisements tailored to your interests based on your browsing behavior.

You can often opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice Page.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children under 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
