In a move towards transparency, a leading cryptocurrency news website has outlined its cookie policy, providing users with a clear understanding of the types of cookies used and their purposes.
The website offers a variety of features, including price information for various cryptocurrencies, news, blogs, infographics, press releases, an advertise section, about us, contact, and more. Additionally, users can access a calculator and newsletter through the site.
The website's cookie policy categorises cookies into four main types: necessary, functional, analytical (performance), and advertisement cookies. Each type serves a unique purpose and has an impact on user privacy and browsing experience.
Necessary (Strictly Necessary) Cookies are essential for the website's core functions, such as secure logins, shopping carts, and billing. Without these, the site cannot operate correctly. They have minimal privacy impact since they don't track user behavior beyond essential functions.
Functional Cookies remember user preferences and settings, such as language, login info, and personalized greetings. They enhance the user experience by personalizing and remembering choices.
Analytical/Performance Cookies collect data on how visitors use the site, counting visits, tracking page navigation, and optimising site performance. They don't directly identify users but collect behavior data while visiting the site.
Advertisement (Targeting/Tracking) Cookies track browsing behavior across multiple sites to tailor advertisements to user interests and measure ad efficacy. They often involve third-party tracking and pose significant privacy risks, as they create detailed user profiles and cross-site tracking is common.
The website clarifies that advertisement cookies are not currently in use.
The website also participates in marketing programs, but claims its content is not influenced by any commissions. Performance cookies help analyse key performance indexes of the website for better user experience, while analytical cookies help understand visitor interactions with the website.
The website uses cookies to enhance browsing experience, including features like sharing content on social media, collecting feedback, and other third-party features. Users can consent to use cookies by clicking "Accept All".
For more information about the website's sections, privacy policy, terms of service, and other related details, users can visit the About, Editorial, Contact, Media Kit, Advertise, Submit PR, Work For Us, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, DMCA / REMOVAL, and Sitemap sections.
In addition to the standard cookies, the website also uses Secure and HttpOnly cookies for enhanced security. Persistent cookies, including many advertisement cookies, remain stored for a long time to recognise users across sessions, while session cookies last only during a single visit.
Users should be aware of more invasive cookies such as supercookies or zombie cookies, which exist outside normal cookie mechanisms and are much harder to delete, raising serious privacy concerns. However, these types of cookies are distinct from the typical cookie categories used by the website.
By understanding the different types of cookies and their purposes, users can make informed decisions about their privacy and browsing experience on the website.
