Cookie Policy

This policy describes how News.gg uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, dashboard, and web applications.

Last updated: September 5, 2026

Zero Discord Message Tracking

Cookies on News.gg are used solely for website navigation, user authentication, and dashboard preferences. We do NOT track, read, log, or store your Discord messages or community chat history through cookies or any other mechanism.

01. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, provide personalized experiences, and gather analytical insights.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, News.gg) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies" (for example, Discord OAuth authentication or Stripe payment processing).

02. How News.gg Uses Cookies

We use cookies and similar browser storage mechanisms for four primary purposes:

Essential & Authentication

Required for the operation of our platform. These maintain your secure Discord OAuth login session, verify administrator permissions, and protect forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

Preferences & Display

Used to recognize you when you return to our website and remember your custom choices, such as dark/light theme preferences and collapsed sidebar states.

Performance & Analytics

Helps us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting non-personally identifiable metrics (such as page load speeds, active server count updates, and error rates).

Security & Payment Processing

Used by payment gateways (Stripe and Dodo Payments) during checkout sessions to detect fraud, prevent duplicate charges, and maintain PCI-DSS compliance.

03. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by trusted third parties who provide essential platform capabilities:

Discord Inc.: Facilitates single sign-on authentication through OAuth2. Discord issues session tokens to securely confirm which servers you have administrator permissions in.
Stripe & Dodo Payments: Provide secure end-to-end encryption for payment processing and fraud detection during premium upgrades and community tier subscriptions.
Cloudflare: Manages web application firewall (WAF) routing, DDoS mitigation, and edge caching to keep News.gg online 24/7.

04. Managing & Disabling Cookies

You have the right to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer:

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection / Cookies
Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Please note: If you choose to reject or disable essential cookies, certain features of News.gg (such as logging into the dashboard or connecting servers) may not function properly.

05. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology, legal obligations, or service improvements. The updated version will always be indicated by the "Last updated" date at the top and bottom of this page.
