At The Lahore Times (accessible from https://www.lhrtimes.com/), protecting the privacy of our visitors is one of our main priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by The Lahore Times and how we use it.

Log Files

The Lahore Times follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This data is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, The Lahore Times uses ‘cookies’. These cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users’ experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.

Google DoubleClick DART Cookie & Third-Party Advertising

Google is one of the third-party vendors on our site. It uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve advertisements to our site visitors based upon their visit to www.lhrtimes.com and other websites on the Internet.

They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Note that The Lahore Times has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
