This policy explains how Coingsty uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies let a site remember information about your visit, such as preferences, or help it function correctly as you move between pages.
Categories of cookies we use
- Essential cookies. Required for core site functionality, such as security, load balancing and remembering basic preferences. The site cannot function properly without these, so they cannot be turned off through an on-site preference.
- Functional cookies. Remember choices you make, such as a theme preference, to make your next visit smoother.
- Analytics cookies. Help us understand, in aggregate, how the site is used — which pages get read, where readers drop off — so we can improve it. We do not use analytics data to identify you personally.
- Advertising cookies. Where advertising is present on the site, these may be used by us or by advertising partners to limit how often you see an ad and, in some cases, to make ads more relevant. See our do not sell or share my information page for related choices around advertising.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to run the site securely, remember your preferences, understand aggregate usage, and, where applicable, support advertising. We do not use cookies to build a profile that we sell to third parties, and cookie data does not feed into any of the market data or editorial content you read on the site.
Controlling cookies
Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or be notified before a cookie is set. Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the site work, including forms and preference memory. Because browser controls differ, check your specific browser’s help documentation for exact steps.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no single accepted industry standard for how sites should respond to it, and Coingsty’s response to such signals may vary by feature and by browser. Using your browser’s cookie controls directly is the more reliable way to manage tracking today.
Cookies and our editorial independence
Cookies never influence what we publish. Analytics data may tell us that a guide is popular, but it does not change how we describe an asset’s risk, and advertising cookies never determine which projects get covered or how. The line between our editorial content and any advertising technology on the page is the same line described in our editorial policy.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our use of cookies or applicable law changes. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
Third-party cookies from embedded content
Some pages may embed content from third parties, such as an exchange widget or a data source, that can set its own cookies subject to that provider’s own policy rather than ours. We do not control those cookies directly; the browser controls described above still apply to them, and the third party’s own privacy policy governs how it uses the data.
