Cookie Policy

Why there is no cookie banner

coincap.biz sets no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies and no third-party trackers. Every cookie listed below is set by this site and is there to make a feature work — remembering that you are signed in, keeping a form submission safe, or holding a starred coin for a visitor without an account. Cookies of that kind do not require consent under EU rules, which is why you are not greeted by a pop-up. If we ever add analytics or an advertising network, this page will change and a consent banner will appear before any such cookie is set.

Local storage

Your choice of light or dark theme is kept in your browser’s local storage under the key theme. It never leaves your device and is not sent to our server.

Third-party cookies

Advertisements on the Site are plain images and text served by us, with no tracking scripts, so they set no cookies. Market data is fetched by our server on a schedule, not by your browser — the data providers never see your browser at all. The only external party that can set a cookie is Google, and only in the moment you actively use the Google Sign-In button.

Turning cookies off

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking them will not stop you from reading the Site — prices, charts and the converter all work without them — but you will not be able to stay signed in, and a watchlist kept without an account will not survive a reload.
