7. Advertising, cookies, and Google's use of data

TechnoBeatsCloud uses Google AdSense to display ads on the website. As a result of this use, Google and its partners may collect, share, and use browsing data, IP address, device identifiers, cookies, web beacons, and other similar identifiers to serve ads, limit ad frequency, measure performance, prevent fraud, and, when the user consents, show personalized advertising.

Google and other third parties may set and read cookies in the user's browser, or use web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers, as a result of serving ads on TechnoBeatsCloud.

You can learn how Google uses data when you use its partners' sites or apps at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/partners

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, TechnoBeatsCloud requests consent before using cookies or personal data for personalized advertising, in accordance with Google's EU User Consent Policy. Users may accept, reject, or configure their preferences from the site's consent message.

8. YouTube API Services

TechnoBeatsCloud uses the YouTube API Services to display videos from the @TechnoBeatsCloud channel in the magazine and on TechnoBeats TV (official YouTube player) and, on a restricted basis, so that the editorial team can upload their own videos to that channel.

The general public only sees the embedded player. Upload to YouTube is not open: only registered users with editorial permission (administrators and a small number of press collaborators) can attach a video to an article. We do not ask for or store any user's YouTube password.

OAuth consent is granted by the TechnoBeatsCloud channel owner. The server stores the channel's refresh token, the video identifier, title, description, duration, privacy and processing status, and the internal author who started the upload. That data is used to link the video to the article and to check whether it is already visible. It is not sold or used for third-party advertising.

Google/YouTube's processing of data is also governed by the Google Privacy Policy. Whoever authorized the channel may revoke TechnoBeatsCloud's access on Google's permissions page or disconnect it in the admin panel. After revocation or a deletion request, we delete the authorized data (including the token) as soon as possible and, at the latest, within 7 calendar days.

Removing a video from an article or requesting deletion in TechnoBeatsCloud does not delete the file on YouTube. To delete it from the channel you must do so in YouTube Studio. Other rights are exercised through the contact form.
