| Google Subscribe with Google (SWG) | Signals to Google that articles are openly accessible, supporting News visibility. | Functional — requires acceptance |
| Vercel Web Analytics | Counts aggregate page views and referrers. Cookieless — does not identify individual visitors. | Essential — always on |
| Google Translate | Remembers the language you choose when using the on-page translation widget. Doesn't enable cross-site tracking, so it's treated as essential rather than gated behind acceptance. | Essential — always on |
