--- title: "Cookie Policy" date: 2026-05-05 author: "Barry Elad" --- # Cookie Policy This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and equivalent client-side storage technologies used on coinlaw.io. It supplements our [Privacy Policy](https://coinlaw.io/privacy-policy/) and the consent mechanism presented when you first visit the site from the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, or California. ## What a Cookie Is, Briefly A cookie is a small file that the browser stores when a website asks it to. The site can read that file on later visits to recognize the same browser, retain preferences, or count visits. Other technologies, such as the localStorage API, achieve similar outcomes from a regulator’s perspective and are treated identically below. ## Categories We Operate Rather than list every cookie individually (that list shifts when a plugin updates), we describe what each category does and the lawful basis under which we set it. ### Essential cookies Required for the site to function. They cannot be opted out of without breaking core functionality such as logging in, posting a comment, or rate-limiting abusive traffic. - WordPress session and authentication cookies, set when you log in or post a comment - Cloudflare security cookies, set in response to abusive traffic or challenge events Lawful basis: legitimate interest in operating a secure website. Not subject to consent under the ePrivacy Directive. ### Analytics cookies Set only after consent is recorded. We use **Google Analytics 4** in IP-anonymized mode. Lawful basis: explicit consent. You can withdraw via the cookie banner or your browser controls. ### Performance cookies Set by our caching layer (FlyingPress) to track which page variants serve from cache. They contain no personal data. Lawful basis: legitimate interest in delivering pages quickly. ### Functional cookies Set when you make a non-essential choice, such as dismissing the newsletter prompt or selecting a reading mode. Cleared on browser close unless you explicitly opt to remember the choice. Lawful basis: implied consent through the action that sets them. ### Embedded media Pages that embed YouTube videos, X posts, or similar content load resources from those platforms. Those platforms set their own cookies in accordance with their policies. We use privacy-preserving variants where available (for example, the YouTube domain youtube-nocookie.com). ## Your Controls You have three layers of control: 1. **The on-site banner** at first visit lets you accept analytics and functional categories independently of essentials. Your choice is recorded in a single first-party cookie and respected on subsequent visits 2. **Your browser settings** can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies on close 3. **Browser add-ons** such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger can block analytics and embedded resources before they load If you disable essentials, the site cannot remember that you have signed in, and comments will fail to post. ## Vendor Links For completeness, the third-party services that may set cookies on the site: - Google LLC, [Privacy & Terms](https://policies.google.com/privacy) - Cloudflare Inc., [Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies](https://www.cloudflare.com/cookie-policy/) - YouTube (Google LLC), covered by the Google policy above - X Corp., [Privacy Policy](https://x.com/en/privacy) ## Updates We revise this document whenever our analytics or embedded-media configuration changes. The date below records the last substantive review rather than a fixed schedule, so it moves only when the policy itself does.
