Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website or service. They help websites work reliably, keep sessions stable, remember choices, and provide measurement signals (for example, page views, latency, or error rates) needed to operate a modern publication.

We also use (or may use) similar storage and access technologies such as browser local storage, pixels/tags, SDKs, and identifiers that read from or write to your device. For UK visitors, these technologies are treated similarly under the UK rules on storage and access technologies.

First-party cookies are set by CryptoWire. Third-party cookies are set by a domain or provider other than CryptoWire (for example, an analytics, ad, or embedded media provider). Third parties may act as independent controllers or as processors, depending on the integration.

Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them). Persistent cookies are often used for preference memory, consent-state memory, and fraud prevention signals.

Some cookie data can qualify as personal data, particularly when it relates to a person through online identifiers (such as IP addresses or cookie identifiers) or can be combined to identify a person. The GDPR explicitly recognizes that cookie identifiers and similar online identifiers can be personal data.

In jurisdictions like the EU/UK, storing or accessing information on a user's device generally requires clear information and consent, except for limited exceptions (for example, when strictly necessary to provide a service the user requests).

When we present a cookie banner or preference center, we may store your cookie choices so we can apply them on future visits. Where applicable, this consent-state storage may be treated as strictly necessary to deliver the consent mechanism you interacted with, provided we explain it clearly.

This Cookie Policy applies to CryptoWire and its pages, subdomains, and embedded players we control. Last updated: July 22, 2026. If we materially change how cookies are used, we will update this page and adjust the banner/workflows where required.

We use strictly necessary cookies to deliver the service you request: load pages, route traffic, maintain session stability, and keep core features working. Without these, the site may not function correctly or may fail under normal market-traffic spikes.

We use consent and preference cookies to remember whether you accepted, rejected, or customized non-essential cookies, so we can apply your settings consistently. In some jurisdictions, consent must meet a GDPR-standard definition, and cookie placement consent must be valid where required.

We use preference cookies to remember operational choices such as display settings (for example, theme, font size, region/language cues, or layout density). These cookies are designed to improve usability and reduce repeated configuration on every session.

We use analytics cookies (where enabled) to understand how readers navigate the site: which pages are viewed, how long pages take to load, what content formats are most used, and where users drop off. This helps us prioritize performance and editorial UX, not personal profiling.

We use performance and error monitoring cookies (where enabled) to detect outages, regressions, and client-side failures. These signals can include device/browser characteristics, event timestamps, and error codes, used to isolate issues quickly in production.

We may use advertising, attribution, or measurement cookies (where enabled) to manage ad delivery, cap frequency, measure campaign performance, and reduce irrelevant repetition. If you reject advertising cookies (where offered), you should still be able to access the core content.

Our pages may include third-party embedded content (for example, media players, social posts, charts, or widgets). These providers may set their own cookies or access storage on your device, based on their policies and your settings with them.

Cookie-derived data may be combined with server logs (such as request time, page requested, and approximate network location inferred from IP) to secure the service and diagnose incidents. If this processing involves personal data, it is handled under our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Some features rely on third-party service providers (for example, analytics, performance monitoring, advertising partners, or embedded media). These providers may place cookies or access device storage when their services run on our pages, subject to your choices and their configuration options.

We aim to minimize third-party access and to use contractual and technical controls where appropriate (for example, limiting what data is sent, restricting use for specified purposes, and using security measures). However, third parties may have their own independent obligations and policies.

Cookie retention varies by type. Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their set expiration or until you delete them. You can clear cookies at any time using your browser or device settings; doing so may reset preferences.

If you access CryptoWire from the EU/UK or other regions with device-storage consent rules, we will provide a consent mechanism and honor the choices you make there, except where cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the service you request.

CryptoWire is designed for a professional audience and is not intended for children. If you believe a minor has provided information through our site, contact us so we can review and address the issue consistent with applicable law.

If we change this Cookie Policy, we will revise the Last updated date above. Changes may be required to reflect new features (for example, new analytics or ad measurement tools) or evolving regulatory guidance on storage and access technologies.

Questions or requests: use the contact form on our website and select Privacy/Cookies so the message routes to the right queue. If you include your browser and device type, we can troubleshoot consent and cookie-control issues faster.

This Cookie Policy is provided for transparency and operational clarity and does not constitute legal advice. For more detail on how we process personal data (including online identifiers), review our Privacy Policy alongside this page.
