Cookie policy
LAST UPDATED 2026-08-24
The short version
This site stores your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear on every visit — that one is necessary and cannot be switched off. Beyond that, the only optional cookies are Google Analytics, used to count visits. They are off unless you switch them on, and no advertising or cross-site tracking runs here at all.
What is actually stored
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cc.v1 | Local storage (first party) |
Remembers whether you accepted or rejected non-essential storage, so the banner does not reappear on every page load. | 6 months | No — strictly necessary. Storing a refusal is what makes the refusal work. |
| _ga | Cookie (Google Analytics 4) |
Distinguishes one visitor from another so visit counts are not double-counted. Set only after you accept the Analytics category. | 2 years | Yes — analytics |
| _ga_<ID> | Cookie (Google Analytics 4) |
Keeps track of a single browsing session. Set only after you accept the Analytics category. | 2 years | Yes — analytics |
What we do not do
- No cookie is set before you make a choice. If you refuse, the Google Analytics script is never downloaded at all — it is not merely switched off after loading.
- Nothing is pre-ticked. Analytics starts switched off.
- Continuing to browse, scrolling, or closing the banner is not treated as consent. Silence is not agreement, and a banner that pretends otherwise is not valid.
- Rejecting is exactly as easy as accepting — one click, same size button, same screen. There is no buried "manage preferences" maze designed to wear you down.
- No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting, no session recording, no heatmaps. Affiliate links are plain links — nothing on this page tags you before you click one.
- IP anonymisation is enabled in Google Analytics.
Third-party requests that are not cookies
Two things reach outside this site without setting anything on your device, and they are covered in the privacy policy:
- The price ticker fetches live market data directly from a public Bybit endpoint, which makes your IP address visible to them.
- Affiliate links take you to another company's website, which sets its own cookies under its own policy once you arrive.
Fonts, scripts and images all come from this domain, so no third party is contacted for them.
Changing your mind
Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. You can switch categories on or off, or withdraw consent entirely, at any time — it is no harder than giving it was. You can also clear site data in your browser, which removes the stored choice and starts you fresh.
