Cookie Policy
This website uses cookies to improve the user's browsing experience and offer content adapted to their interests. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on ecuadormundohoy.com.ec, and how you can manage or disable them according to your privacy preferences.
Definition of Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser when you visit them. Their function is to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other configuration options, which facilitates your next visit and makes the site more useful by personalizing your experience.
Each cookie is downloaded to the reader's device and remains stored for a specific period, which can range from the duration of a single session to several months, depending on its type and purpose. When the user returns to the portal, the browser sends the saved information back so that the site recognizes previous preferences and offers a smoother navigation.
In the case of Ecuador Mundo Hoy, cookies allow us to remember language settings, keep a session active while the reader reviews different international news sections, and collect aggregated metrics on the most visited pages. No cookie installed by this portal collects sensitive personal data or information that allows identifying the user outside the site.
Types of Cookies Used
We use technical cookies that are essential for the operation of the site, allowing navigation and the use of different options or services. We also use analysis cookies that allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical measurement and analysis of the use that readers make of our portal to improve our information offering.
Essential for navigation
They allow the reader to move through the international news sections, keep the session active while reviewing different articles, and remember the language selected in previous visits. Without these cookies, some functionalities of the portal would stop operating correctly.
- ▸ Remember the reader's preferred language
- ▸ Maintain the session during the visit
- ▸ Load homepage sections quickly
Statistical measurement of use
They allow us to quantify how many readers visit each section, which articles generate the most interest, and how they move through the portal. This data is treated in an aggregated and anonymous way to improve the information offering and prioritize the areas of international coverage that most interest the Ecuadorian audience.
- ▸ Count unique visitors per section
- ▸ Identify the most read news
- ▸ Optimize the structure of the homepage
Third-Party Cookies
On some pages, we may show integrated third-party content, such as videos or maps, which may install their own cookies. Likewise, we use traffic analysis tools that may collect data about your browsing behavior anonymously to help us understand which sections are most relevant to our audience.
When a reader opens an article that contains an embedded video or an interactive map, the external provider of that content may deposit a cookie in the browser. Ecuador Mundo Hoy does not control the configuration of those external cookies, so we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of each provider to understand what data they collect and how they manage it.
The traffic analysis tools we use work with aggregated data and without personal identification. Their purpose is purely statistical: to know how many readers access the foreign policy, global economy, or culture sections, and for how long they remain in each article. This information helps us decide which topics to cover in greater depth in the future.
