Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how CryptoGuardian uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, and the choices you have. It complements our Privacy Policy and applies when you visit pages, read reviews, or interact with site features.

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. Cookies can remember preferences and help sites function properly. We also refer to similar technologies that store or access information on your device, such as local storage, pixels, and comparable browser-based identifiers.

For simplicity, we group these under cookies unless a distinction matters. Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by services we use (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies may be associated with features like embedded media, performance monitoring, or security tools.

Some cookies are session-based and expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent and remain for a set period or until you delete them. Your browser controls which cookies are accepted and how long they remain on your device.

Depending on your location, certain cookies may require notice and consent. For example, in the EU/UK context, non-essential cookies generally require user consent, with a narrow exception for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service the user requested.

We design our pages to be readable even when optional cookies are declined, but some functionality or personalization may be limited. We do not require you to accept optional cookies just to view basic content on our cryptocurrency reviews site.

If our cookie practices change, for example if we add a new analytics provider or advertising partner, we will update this page and revise the Last updated date so you can review what changed and make informed decisions about your preferences.

We aim to provide clear choices about optional cookies. Where required by applicable law, we may present a cookie banner or settings panel that lets you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies before they are placed on your device.

Strictly necessary cookies are used to make the site work, for example to maintain a session, load pages efficiently, or remember a security-related setting. UK guidance emphasizes that the strictly necessary exception is narrow and does not cover advertising purposes.

Analytics cookies, where used, help us understand how readers navigate our reviews and guides, such as which pages are popular or where users encounter errors, so we can improve clarity and site performance. You can often refuse or limit these cookies through our cookie settings and your browser.

Advertising-related cookies, where used, may be set by us or by third parties to deliver ads, measure ad performance, and reduce repeated ads. If we enable these technologies, we intend to offer a choice mechanism where required by applicable law.

Some third-party features, like an embedded video or social media preview, can trigger third-party cookies or similar technologies when you load that content. If we use click-to-load style embeds, the third-party may not receive cookie data until you choose to interact with the embedded content.

You can also control cookies at the browser level. Most browsers let you delete existing cookies, block all cookies, or block third-party cookies specifically. Note that blocking all cookies may break key site functions that rely on cookie-based session management.

If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will usually need to set your cookie choices separately on each one. Changes can take time to propagate depending on your browser and any third-party tools involved in delivering the experience.

If you believe cookies are being set in a way that contradicts the choices you made, contact us via our website Contact page with details such as browser, device, page URL, and what you observed, and we will investigate the issue promptly.

Some U.S. state privacy laws provide rights to opt out of certain data uses. For California residents, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) amended the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and became operative on January 1, 2023, establishing new rights and obligations.

When cookies or similar technologies are used in a way that could be considered sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law, California residents may have the right to opt out of such practices through various mechanisms.

California regulators recognize user-enabled opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), as a valid way to communicate an opt-out of sale or sharing when the signal meets requirements. We respect these signals where applicable to our operations.

If our site is subject to such requirements for a given user and context, we will process qualifying opt-out preference signals in a frictionless manner as required by applicable rules, and we will not require you to create an account just to submit an opt-out request.

An opt-out signal may affect how certain third-party tags run on the site, including advertising or measurement tags. In practice, this can mean limiting or disabling cookie-based advertising features and associated sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes on CryptoGuardian.

You may still see contextual ads, which are ads based on the page topic rather than your browsing history, even if you opt out of sale or sharing or decline advertising cookies. Contextual advertising generally relies less on tracking technologies and individual user profiles.

If we provide a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link or a privacy settings interface, it will be another way, in addition to eligible signals like GPC, to communicate your choice, depending on what is required for the specific jurisdiction and legal framework.

This Cookie Policy is informational and is not legal advice. If you need advice about your rights or business obligations under privacy or cookie laws, consult qualified counsel in your jurisdiction for guidance tailored to your specific situation.
