This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how The Blockchain News Express uses them and similar technologies, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to help owners understand how their site is used. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the Site secure and working correctly, to remember preferences such as dark mode, to measure and improve how the Site performs, and — where applicable — to support advertising. We do not use cookies to collect the values you enter into our calculators; those run locally in your browser.
Types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function, including security and basic preferences. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Performance & analytics cookies — help us understand which pages are popular and how visitors move around the Site so we can improve it. The data is aggregated and statistical.
- Functional cookies — remember choices you make, such as your theme preference, to give you a better experience.
- Advertising cookies — where applicable, used by us or our partners to make advertising more relevant and to measure its effectiveness.
First-party and third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by us (first-party). Others are set by third-party services we use, such as analytics and advertising providers (third-party). Those providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
How long cookies last
Cookies are either session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a set period or until you delete them. We use both, depending on their purpose.
Managing and disabling cookies
You can accept, refuse or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear existing ones. Bear in mind that blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works. Instructions for common browsers:
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to it, our Site does not currently respond differently to these signals, but you can still control cookies as described above.
Your consent
By continuing to use the Site, you consent to our use of strictly necessary cookies. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can withdraw it at any time.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date below reflects the latest version.
