Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 7, 2026. This policy explains what information LeonidaNews.com ("we") collects and how it's used.

Information we collect

We don't require accounts and don't ask for personal information to read the site. If you email us, we receive your email address and message, which we use only to reply.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may log standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, for security and performance.

If you sign up for our email newsletter, we collect your email address, the date you signed up and the page you signed up on. We use it only to send you LeonidaNews updates about GTA 6. We don't sell or share it with anyone, and it's stored securely on our web hosting account.

If you tick “Also email me the moment GTA 6 unlocks”, we note that choice next to your email address so we can send that one extra alert.

Every newsletter tells you how to unsubscribe. You can also email Contact@leonidanews.com at any time to be removed, and we'll delete your address from our list.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a service from Google, to understand which pages people read, how they found the site and what device they use. It sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_<ID>, which can last up to two years. We don't use it to identify you, and we don't send Google your name or email address.

If you're in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Google Analytics doesn't load and no analytics cookies are set until you click Accept on our cookie banner. If you click Reject, nothing is loaded. Elsewhere, analytics is on by default and you can turn it off at any time.

You can change your choice whenever you like using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Rejecting also deletes any Google Analytics cookies already set. You can also block analytics across all sites with Google's opt-out browser add-on. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

We store your cookie choice in your browser's local storage (key ln_consent) so we don't ask again on every page.

Anonymous "most read" counter

When you open a news story, your browser tells our server which story it was, so we can show the most-read stories. We store only the story address and a daily count. No cookies are set, and no IP address or other personal information is saved.

Settings saved in your browser

If you choose the light theme, and to show which stories are new since your last visit, we save a small setting in your browser’s local storage. It never leaves your device.

Advertising

We may display ads from third-party vendors, including Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data. Contact us at Contact@leonidanews.com.

Children

Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to be rated for mature audiences. This site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We may update this policy and will change the effective date above when we do.
