Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 10 April 2025 | Effective: 10 April 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, settings, or whether you have previously accepted cookie consent.
Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are unique to your browser and cannot be used to identify you personally unless you have provided us with your personal information through our contact form.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
- Remember your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask again unnecessarily
- Understand how visitors navigate our website so we can improve its content and structure
- Measure the effectiveness of our communication efforts, where you have consented
3. Cookies We Use
We categorise cookies into three types. Only essential cookies are active by default. Others are only placed with your explicit consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| cp_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months | Coinpetal (first-party) |
| PHPSESSID | Maintains your session while browsing the site | Session | Coinpetal (first-party) |
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are visited most, how long people spend reading, and where they navigate from. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users via a randomly generated client ID | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _ga_* | Maintains GA4 session state | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _gid | Distinguishes users across sessions | 24 hours | Google Analytics |
Marketing pixels allow us to measure how well our promotional content performs. These tools may be used by advertising platforms (including Meta and Microsoft Bing) to understand whether visitors to our site arrived from our advertisements. We do not use these for targeted advertising to individual users — only for campaign performance measurement.
| Cookie / Pixel | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta Pixel — measures campaign conversions from Facebook/Instagram | 3 months | Meta (Facebook) |
| _uet_* | Microsoft Bing Universal Event Tracking — measures ad conversions | 13 months | Microsoft (Bing) |
4. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit our website, a consent notice will appear offering you the choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved for 12 months. You may change your preference at any time.
You can revisit your cookie preferences by clearing the cp_cookie_consent cookie from your browser and reloading any page on our site. The consent notice will reappear.
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of our site function. Browser-level settings override our consent notice.
For guidance on managing cookies in specific browsers, please refer to your browser's help documentation. You may also opt out of Google Analytics data collection via Google's opt-out tool.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics, Meta, and Microsoft Bing. These services have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data collected through their cookies.
- Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta (Facebook): facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Microsoft Bing: privacy.microsoft.com
6. Data Collected via Cookies
Where analytics or marketing cookies are active, the data collected may include your approximate geographic region, device and browser type, pages viewed, time spent on each page, and referral source. This data is used in aggregate and is not linked to personally identifiable information unless you have submitted an enquiry form.
For full details on how we handle personal data, please review our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new tools to our site or when applicable guidance changes. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects any revisions. If we make significant changes, we will prompt you to review your consent preferences on your next visit.
