Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 September 2026.
This policy explains the cookies used on Banking on Bitcoin. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by a website. They can be used to remember settings or, as here, to measure how a site is used.
Cookies we use
We use one cookie of our own to remember your choice, and cookies from Google Analytics 4, which we use to understand how visitors use the site.
| Cookie | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
cc_cookie | Stores your cookie choice so we do not ask again on every visit. Strictly necessary. | About six months |
_ga | Distinguishes one visitor from another so usage can be counted | Up to about two years |
_ga_<id> | Maintains session state for our specific Google Analytics property (<id> is replaced by a property identifier) | Up to about two years |
Durations for the Google cookies are set by Google and may change, so we describe them in general terms. Google’s own documentation is the authoritative source.
Consent
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept, reject or choose which cookies to allow. We use Google Consent Mode v2, and the default depends on where you are:
- European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland: analytics is off by default. The analytics cookies above are not set for measurement until you accept.
- Everywhere else, including the United States: analytics is on by default, and you can reject it at any time in the banner or in the cookie settings.
Your location is determined by Google from your connection when the tag loads; we do not store it. If you reject analytics, these cookies are not used to track you across visits, and we may still receive limited, non-identifying signals. Advertising storage is always off.
No advertising cookies
We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not show ads on this site.
How to withdraw or change your consent
You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings, and most browsers let you block them altogether. Instructions are available in your browser’s help pages. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect your ability to read the site.
Google also offers a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics across websites. You can find it by searching for “Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on”.
