Cookie Policy
The technologies we use to keep the site running smoothly and to tailor your experience to what you love.
This Cookie Policy explains how USA Onboard ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on usaonboard.com and in our newsletters. We use them, above all, to give you a smoother and more personal experience. Please read this alongside our Privacy Policy.
Section 01What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you use it. We also use related technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage, which we refer to together as "cookies" in this Policy.
Section 02Why We Use Them
Every cookie we use is in service of your experience. We use them to:
- Keep the site secure, fast, and working as it should;
- Remember your preferences so you don't have to set them again;
- Understand which stories and topics our readers enjoy, so we can offer you more of what interests you;
- Tailor recommendations and make any advertising you see more relevant to you, based on your general location and the content you engage with.
Section 03The Cookies We Use
| Type | What it does for you |
|---|---|
| Essential | Make the site work — security, page loading, and remembering your cookie choice. The site can't function properly without these, so they're always on. |
| Experience & Insights | Help us see which content readers enjoy and how the site is used, so we can keep improving it and remember your preferences. |
| Personalization | Use the topics you engage with and your general location to tailor recommendations and make the advertising you see more relevant to your interests. |
The Experience and Personalization cookies are what let us move beyond a generic site to one that reflects what you actually care about. They help us understand your interests and connect you with relevant content and offers — always as described in our Privacy Policy, where we also explain that we never sell your information or share your contact details.
Section 04Partner Cookies
Some cookies are set by trusted partners who help us measure engagement and deliver relevant advertising. These partners handle data under their own privacy policies and under our contractual requirements. We do not allow them to collect your contact details through our site.

Advertising signals
Where required, we honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control, and you can opt out of certain interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance and Network Advertising Initiative.
