Bradford County News ("we," "our," or "us") operates bradfordcountynews.com. This page explains what information is collected when you visit the site and how it is used. The short version: we run a local news site, not a data operation. We collect very little ourselves, but our advertising and analytics partners use cookies, and you deserve to know how that works.

Information We Collect

We do not require accounts, logins, or registration to read Bradford County News. If you email us a news tip at tips@bradfordcountynews.com, we receive whatever you choose to send, and we protect the identity of sources. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical information such as IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and referring pages. We use this in aggregate to understand readership and keep the site running.

Advertising and Cookies

Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so will not prevent you from reading anything on this site, though it may affect how ads are displayed.

Third-Party Links

Our stories and business directory link to outside websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Once you leave bradfordcountynews.com, their policies apply, not ours.

Children's Privacy

This site is a general-audience local news publication. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
