This Cookie Notice (“Notice”) outlines how Financial Crypto Times and our partners—including advertisers and service providers—utilize cookies and similar tracking technologies on our websites, mobile apps, email newsletters, and other online products and services that link to this policy (“Services”). It also details your options regarding cookies and similar technologies. This Notice is an integral part of Financial Crypto Times Privacy Policy, which can be accessed here.

Understanding Cookies and Their Usage

Cookies and other tracking technologies on our Services—including, but not limited to, web beacons, pixels, and SDKs (collectively referred to as “Cookies” unless specified otherwise)—are small files or technologies placed on your device when you visit our site, use our services, or interact with our apps. These Cookies enable us to recognize visitors across different browsing sessions and websites. They are used to facilitate various features (such as keeping you logged in), enhance the Services, and serve targeted advertising.

Cookies may be set by the website or service you are directly interacting with (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties, such as analytics or advertising networks (“third-party cookies”). Third parties may gather and use information as described in this Notice and our Privacy Policy, following their own privacy practices.

Types of Cookies

Our Services utilize various types of first-party and third-party Cookies, each serving different purposes:

  • Essential Cookies: These Cookies are crucial for the basic functionality and security of our Services. They are indispensable and cannot be disabled through our systems. While you can adjust your browser settings to block or alert you about these Cookies, doing so may result in parts of the Services not functioning correctly.
  • Functional Cookies: These Cookies enhance our Services by remembering your preferences and settings, providing a more personalized experience. Without these Cookies, certain features may not operate as intended.
  • Performance Cookies: These Cookies help us analyze traffic and usage patterns, allowing us to assess and improve our Services’ performance. They provide insights into which areas of the Services are most and least popular. We use third-party tools like Google Analytics to assist with these performance metrics.
  • Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These Cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Both we and our third-party advertising partners may use these Cookies to create a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on our Services and elsewhere. Disabling these Cookies will still result in ads being shown, but they may be less tailored to your interests.
  • Social Media Cookies: These Cookies are set by social media platforms integrated into our Services, enabling you to share content with your social networks. Social media platforms may track your activity across the web, potentially affecting the content and advertisements you see on other sites.

Your Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the option to manage your Cookie preferences through a “Manage Cookies” feature. Additionally, you can use various methods to control Cookies and similar technologies. Please note that these adjustments must be made for each browser or device you use. If you update or change your browser, device, or delete your Cookies, you may need to reapply these settings. Be aware that some Cookie-management solutions themselves use Cookies, so adjust your browser settings with caution. We do not oversee or control the external opt-out mechanisms and settings provided below and cannot be held responsible for their operation.

For users in jurisdictions where we display a consent banner for Cookies and similar technologies, such as the EU and UK, the banner will reappear after one year or if you reset Cookies on your device, provided we still detect that you are in such a region. If our systems determine you no longer reside in these jurisdictions, Cookies and similar technologies will be managed automatically according to our Privacy Policy, based on your updated location.

Browser Controls: You can manage and disable certain Cookies through your browser settings. Instructions for handling Cookies in popular browsers are available here: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari (iOS), Safari (Mac), and Opera. For other browsers, refer to the browser’s help menu.

Mobile Settings: Your mobile device might offer options to control Cookies, such as Limit Ad Tracking or Tracking settings in iOS and Opt-Out of Ads Personalization in Android.

Analytics: To opt out of some analytics Cookies, you can use the browser controls mentioned above or specific opt-out tools provided by our analytics partners, such as the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On, Chartbeat’s opt-out page at https://static.chartbeat.com/opt-out.html, and Comscore’s opt-out page at https://www.scorecardresearch.com/optout.aspx?newlanguage=1.

Interest-Based Advertising: Many third-party advertisers provide options to opt out of interest-based advertising. Besides the methods mentioned above, you can opt out of certain targeted ads from participating organizations by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance in the US, Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, or the Australian Digital Advertising Alliance.

You can also opt out of some advertising providers we use by visiting their settings or opt-out pages, including Google’s Opt-Out page, Facebook’s Settings, LiveIntent’s Ad Choices page, and LiveRamp’s Opt-Out Page. Opting out through these methods will still result in seeing ads, but they may not be as relevant to your interests.

Impact of Cookie Deactivation: Disabling or removing Cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the Services. While information may still be collected and used for purposes such as internal operations and maintaining your opt-out preferences, certain features of the Services may not work as intended.
