Who we are
We are USA Life News (usalifenews.com)—an independent, reader-supported outlet that publishes news, features, and practical stories about everyday life in the United States. Our aim is to inform, inspire, and equip readers with actionable insights on topics ranging from health and work-life balance to community events, culture, and personal finance.
Media
Our articles may include text, images, and videos that we host directly on our servers.
- Source & ownership –
- All media is either created in-house, licensed, used under fair-use, or published with explicit permission from the copyright holder.
- When required, we credit creators and link to the original source.
- Technical processing –
- Images are automatically resized and compressed to improve page-load speed.
- Videos are transcoded to modern formats (e.g., MP4, WebM) so they stream efficiently on most devices.
- During this process we strip embedded EXIF metadata (including GPS coordinates) to avoid exposing location or device details.
- No tracking pixels –
- We do not embed hidden pixels, web beacons, or similar trackers in any of our self-hosted media files.
- As noted in the Cookies section, we also do not set first-party cookies.
- Downloads & sharing –
- If you download an image or video, it will contain only the visible content—no hidden personal data.
- You may share our media under the same license that governs the article (typically Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0, unless otherwise stated).
- Third-party media –
- Some articles embed external media players (e.g., YouTube) or syndicated images; those providers may apply their own cookies and tracking technologies. See Embedded content from other websites for details.
By viewing or interacting with our media you acknowledge these practices.
Cookies
We do not set, store, or read any cookies on your device. All core features of this website work without first-party cookies, and we neither track your activity nor use cookies for analytics or advertising.
Please note that third-party services (e.g., embedded videos or ads) may still place their own cookies—those are governed by the providers’ policies, as outlined under “Embedded content from other websites.” Blocking or deleting cookies in your browser will not affect the essential operation of our site.
Embedded content from other websites
Our site occasionally embeds content such as videos, images, articles, social-media widgets, or ad units that are served directly from third-party domains (e.g., YouTube, X, Facebook, advertising networks). When you interact with this embedded content:
- Third-party data collection – External providers may collect information about you (for example, IP address, browser details, and interaction data) exactly as if you had visited their site directly.
- Cookies and tracking technologies – Those providers can set cookies, pixels, or similar identifiers to deliver, measure, and improve their services—this includes ad personalisation where permitted by law.
- Advertising – We work with multiple advertising partners to display ads throughout our pages, in widgets, banners, and article feeds. Ad slots may appear in various positions (before, within, or after content) and may change dynamically to optimise placement and relevance.
- Analytics & performance – Ad networks and embedded-content providers may perform analytics on impressions, clicks, and user engagement to help us fund and improve the site.
By continuing to use our site, you acknowledge that embedded content and ads function this way and consent to the associated data processing, subject to your settings and the legal options noted above.
