This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how The Crypto Times (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses them on our website (cryptotimes.io), and what your choices are regarding these technologies. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your device and store information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies help us make the website function correctly, improve security, understand how the website performs, and provide a better user experience.
How We Use Cookies
Our website uses both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by our partners) for several key purposes:
- First-Party Cookies: These are essential for the website to function. They handle basic operations and do not collect personally identifiable information.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by our analytics and advertising partners. They are mainly used to understand how you interact with our website, keep our services secure, and most importantly, deliver advertising that is relevant to you. This helps us fund our journalism and keep our content free for everyone.
Types of Cookies We Use
We have categorized the cookies used on our site to help you understand their purpose:
-
Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core functionalities like page navigation and security. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they are typically set automatically and cannot be disabled through our consent manager.
-
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit most often and if you receive any error messages. The data is aggregated and anonymous and helps us improve how our website works.
- Our Partner: We use Google Analytics to gather this data. This helps us understand our audience and create better content.
-
Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They track your Browse habits across websites to build a profile of your interests, which is then used by our advertising partners. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
- Our Partners: We work with leading advertising platforms like Google AdSense and Ezoic. These partners use cookies to manage ad personalization and frequency. Disabling these cookies will not stop you from seeing ads, but they will no longer be personalized to your interests.
-
Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username or language preference) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they remember your consent preferences.
