Cookie Policy

1. Scope

This Policy explains the use of cookies and similar technologies (pixels, local storage, SDKs) on the buycoin.online website and interfaces (the “Platform”). It applies to all visitors and users and supplements our Privacy Policy (GDPR).

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. Similar technologies (e.g., pixels, local/session storage) perform comparable functions—remembering your settings, supporting security, and helping measure use of the Platform.

3. Legal bases

• Strictly necessary cookies are used without separate consent because they are required to provide the service you request (e.g., account sign-in, security, request routing).
• All other categories (preferences/functional, analytics/performance, marketing) are set only with your consent, collected via a cookie banner/settings centre. You can change your choices at any time (see Section 6).

4. Cookie categories we may use

1. Strictly necessary — core functionality (navigation, sessions, authentication, security, load balancing, saving your cookie choices).
2. Functional (preferences) — remember your selections (language, region, interface display).
3. Analytics/performance — help us understand how the Platform is used (aggregated visit/click/load-time metrics) to improve it. We apply data minimisation and, where possible, aggregation/pseudonymisation.
4. Marketing/targeting — enable more relevant messaging on our properties and partners’ platforms; may limit ad frequency and measure campaign effectiveness.

5. Cookie lifetime

• Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies — remain until their set expiry or your deletion. For non-essential cookies, we aim to limit lifetimes to reasonable periods (generally no more than 13 months), unless otherwise required by law or provider contracts.

6. How to manage cookies

• Banner/settings centre. On first visit you can grant consent by category. You can later change/withdraw consent via the “Cookie settings” link in the Platform footer (or equivalent interface element).
• Browser settings. You can delete or block cookies, or enable prompts when cookies are placed. Note: blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect Platform functionality.
• Mobile OS & identifiers. Some controls are available in your device OS (limit tracking, reset advertising ID).
• Opt-out signals. We strive to honour supported opt-out signals/mechanisms where technically feasible and legally required.

7. Third-party cookies and data transfers

We may use cookies/pixels provided by our vendors (e.g., analytics, performance measurement, anti-fraud, hosting). Depending on context and contracts, such vendors act as independent controllers or processors. Transfers outside the EEA/Switzerland/UK (if applicable) are safeguarded with appropriate measures (including EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)), as described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Age restrictions

The Platform is intended only for individuals aged 18 or over. If you are under 18, please do not use the Platform or adjust cookie settings.

9. Updates to this Policy

We may revise this Policy periodically. The current version is always available on the Platform. For material changes, we may display an in-product notice.
