This Cookies Policy explains how Feature Pakistan uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. We want to be transparent about our use of these tools so you can make informed choices about your personal data. By using FeaturePakistan.com, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy (unless you disable them via your browser or settings, as explained below).

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back or browse from one page to another. Cookies can also help recognize your device on subsequent visits, enabling certain features or providing analytics to the site owner.

There are different types of cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that last only for the duration of your browsing session on our site. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.

• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after your session until they expire or you delete them. Persistent cookies help the website remember you and your preferences for a set period of time (for example, keeping you logged in or remembering your site settings on return visits).

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by FeaturePakistan.com (the website you are visiting) and can only be read by our site.

• Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by domains other than featurepakistan.com. They usually occur when our site incorporates elements from other services, like embedded videos or social media features, or when we use analytics or advertising partners.

How We Use Cookies

Feature Pakistan uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience and to gather analytics about our website usage. The cookies on our site generally fall into the following categories:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. For example, if our site has a login area or a comment feature, cookies might be used to maintain your session. Without these cookies, certain services you may ask for (like submitting a comment) could not be provided. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.

• Performance & Analytics Cookies: We use these to collect information about how visitors use FeaturePakistan.com. They help us understand which pages are most popular, how users navigate through the site, and if any errors occur. For instance, we may use Google Analytics (or similar tools) which set cookies to gather anonymized data such as page views, time spent on pages, and referral sources. This information is aggregated and used solely to improve the performance of our website and the content we offer. We do not see individual user identities through these analytics – the data is statistical.

• Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, if our site offers personalization (like text size adjustment or dark mode), functional cookies may remember your settings. They can also remember preferences like whether you’ve seen and clicked “close” on a notification banner, so it doesn’t keep appearing. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

• Third-Party and Social Media Cookies: In some cases, we integrate content or features from third-party sites (e.g., a YouTube video in a news article or a social media share button). These external services may set their own cookies when you interact with them or when they are loaded in your browser. For example, clicking a “Share” button may set a cookie by the social network you chose. Similarly, if we ever display ads through an advertising network, those ads might come with cookies to track ad performance. Feature Pakistan does not control these third-party cookies, so we recommend checking the cookie and privacy policies of the relevant third parties for more information. Nonetheless, we try to minimize the use of third-party cookies and ensure any that appear are from trusted parties.

Your Cookie Choices

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. Here are some ways you can manage your cookie preferences:

• Cookie Consent on Our Site: When you first visit FeaturePakistan.com, you may see a cookie notice or banner. We ask for your consent to use non-essential cookies (like analytics or functional cookies). You can choose to accept all cookies or adjust your preferences to accept only certain types. If you decline non-essential cookies, we will respect that choice and not load those cookies during your visit.

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can typically set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set, or you can choose to block cookies entirely. You can also usually delete cookies that have already been set. Please note that if you disable all cookies, some features of our site might not function as intended. For instance, essential cookies might be required for logging in or submitting forms.

• Opt-Out Tools: For analytics cookies like those from Google Analytics, Google provides an opt-out browser add-on that you can install to prevent your data from being used. Similarly, for cookies set by other third-party services (such as advertising networks), you may opt out via mechanisms provided in their cookie policies or via industry opt-out sites.

• Do Not Track (DNT): “Do Not Track” is a preference you can set in your web browser to signal that you don’t want to be tracked. Currently, our site does not respond differently to a DNT signal, because there is not yet a common agreement on how to interpret it. We will update our practices if an industry standard for DNT is established.

Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update our use of cookies and this policy from time to time. For example, we might add new features to our website that rely on cookies, or we might start using a new analytics service. If any material changes occur in how we use cookies, we will update this Cookies Policy and, if significant, provide a notice on our site (for instance, via the cookie banner or a notification). The “Last Updated” date at the top will always indicate when the last changes were made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our cookie practices.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, feel free to contact us at privacy@featurepakistan.com or via our Contact Us page. We will do our best to address any issues or inquiries you have regarding cookies and your privacy.

By staying informed and in control of your cookies, you help us ensure that Feature Pakistan provides a comfortable, transparent browsing experience. Thank you for visiting Feature Pakistan and caring about your data privacy.
