Cookie Policy
// How CryptoWorld uses cookies and what your choices are
What is this policy about?
This Cookie Policy explains how CryptoWorld, owner of the website cryptoworld.blog, uses cookies and similar technologies when you browse our site.
We explain clearly: what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, who has access to that information, and how you can manage or disable them at any time.
Your consent matters. In compliance with Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services (LSSI-CE) and EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), we will not activate non-essential cookies until you explicitly accept them via the cookie banner shown at the bottom of this page.
Cookies explained simply
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device — computer, tablet, or smartphone — the first time you visit. On subsequent visits, the site can read that file to recognize your browser or recall certain preferences.
Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses. They are passive files that simply store information. We may also use related technologies:
- Web beacons — tiny invisible images that confirm whether a page was loaded correctly.
- Local Storage — browser storage used to remember settings between sessions.
- Session storage — temporary storage deleted when you close your browser tab.

Analytics cookies
Help us understand how visitors interact with CryptoWorld — which articles are most read, time spent on pages, and traffic sources. All data is aggregated and anonymized. No individual is identified. These cookies are only activated after you provide consent.
Our use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyze traffic on cryptoworld.blog.
Google Analytics collects information about how you use our site (pages visited, time on site, approximate geographic region, device type) and generates aggregated reports. This data is transmitted to and stored on Google servers, which may be located in the United States.
IP anonymization is enabled. We have configured Google Analytics to mask the last segment of your IP address before storage. Google cannot identify you individually from this data.
Google’s processing of your data is governed by their Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy ↗
You can opt out of Google Analytics at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on ↗.
How long do cookies last?
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser. They maintain your state during a single visit.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device until their expiry date or until you delete them manually. They allow the site to recognize you on future visits.
Exact durations for each cookie are listed in the table in Section 3.
