Privacy policy

Last updated: 24 October 2026

This policy explains what information HeadlineShine collects when you use the site and how it is used.

Information we store

HeadlineShine does not require an account and does not ask for your name or email address. We set one cookie, region, to remember which edition you chose. Your browser's local storage keeps your theme preference, the time of your last visit (to highlight new stories) and which stories you have opened. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us.

Like most websites, our server records standard request logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) to keep the service running and secure. We may use your approximate location, derived from your IP address, to choose your edition.

Visitor statistics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read, which countries readers come from and which sites send them here. It does not use cookies, does not store your IP address and does not track you across other websites. See Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Advertising

HeadlineShine may show ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to HeadlineShine 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 at aboutads.info. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown.

Stories link to articles on publishers' websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which apply once you leave HeadlineShine.
