Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information MakTimes (maktimes.com) collects and how it is used.

Who we are: MakTimes is an independent news and education website founded and edited by Muhammad Ali Kazim. Our website address is https://maktimes.com. You can contact us at contact@maktimes.com.

Information we collect: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address and browser information to help detect spam. If you contact us by email, we keep your message and email address only to respond to you.

Cookies: This website uses cookies. Comment cookies remember your name and email so you do not have to fill them in again. Our advertising and analytics partners may also use cookies as described below.

Advertising — Google AdSense: We use (or plan to use) Google AdSense to show advertisements. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com). You can also learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Embedded content: Articles may include embedded content (for example videos or posts from other platforms). Embedded content behaves as if you visited that other website directly, and those websites may collect data about you and use their own cookies.

How long we keep data: Comments and their metadata are kept so follow-up comments can be recognised and approved. Email messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry.

Your rights: You may request that we delete personal information we hold about you by emailing contact@maktimes.com.

Changes: We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
