What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners information about how their sites are being used. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses, and they are not linked to personally identifiable information unless you have provided that information to the site.
How we use cookies
Crypto Nerd uses cookies to keep the site functioning correctly, to understand how readers navigate our content, and to measure the effectiveness of our pages. We do not use cookies to serve advertising or to build profiles for ad-targeting purposes. We do not place advertising cookies or tracking pixels on behalf of ad networks.
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences or navigating between pages. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) to collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use the site. This includes data such as which pages are visited most often, how long readers stay on a page, and the general location (country or city) of visitors. This information helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics cookies are set only where permitted under applicable rules. IP addresses collected through analytics are anonymised where possible.
Preference cookies
These cookies allow the site to remember choices you make (such as display settings) to provide a more personalised experience on return visits. They do not track your activity across other websites.
Third-party cookies
Some pages on our site include links or embedded content from third-party platforms. When you click on an affiliate link to an exchange or other provider, that third party may set its own cookies on your device under their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant provider's policy if you have concerns. Our affiliate partners are AUSTRAC-registered Digital Currency Exchanges and similar regulated providers; affiliate relationships are always disclosed in the relevant content.
