Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Pakistan Tribune (“we,” “us,” or “the site”), accessible at pakistantribune.com.pk, collects from visitors, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

Log and usage data. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics infrastructure automatically records standard technical information when you visit — your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and time spent on the site. This is used only in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to keep it running reliably.

Information you provide directly. If you email us through the address on our Contact page, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message (such as your email address and its contents). We use this only to respond to you and do not add it to a mailing list without your separate consent.

Calculator inputs. The free calculators on this site (bill estimators, tax calculators, unit converters, and similar tools) run entirely in your browser. Values you enter are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes:

  • Essential functionality — remembering basic preferences and enabling core site features to work correctly.
  • Advertising — this site displays advertising served through Google AdSense and other Google advertising products. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This is standard practice across the web and helps support free access to our content.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. You can also opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Third-Party Advertising and Analytics Partners

We may work with third-party vendors, including Google, who use cookies to serve ads and, where enabled, to measure site traffic. These vendors have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data, and we encourage you to review Google’s policies directly since we do not control how third-party vendors process the data they collect through their own cookies.

Children’s Privacy

Pakistan Tribune is a general-audience informational site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

Data Retention and Security

We retain contact-form emails only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry, and we take reasonable technical measures to protect information in transit (this site is served exclusively over HTTPS). No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

You can browse this site without accepting non-essential cookies by adjusting your browser settings, though some features may not function as intended. You may also opt out of interest-based Google advertising at any time via adssettings.google.com.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
