1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (remain on your device for a set period).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on Crypticly:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure access, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate correctly. Examples include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice and security tokens.

• Purpose: Enable core site functionality
• Duration: Session and persistent (typically up to 12 months)
• Third parties: None – these are set by Crypticly directly

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our blog – which pages are most popular, how long users stay, and whether they encounter errors. This helps us improve the content and user experience. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

• Purpose: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about site usage
• Duration: Persistent (typically up to 2 years, but data is anonymised)
• Third parties: Google LLC (Google Analytics). For more, see Google’s cookie policy.

2.3 Advertising Cookies

We display advertisements on Crypticly through Google AdSense (and potentially other third-party ad networks). Advertising cookies allow us and our ad partners to serve ads that are relevant to you based on your browsing history and interests. They also measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns and prevent the same ad from appearing too often.

• Purpose: Personalise ads, limit ad frequency, measure ad performance
• Duration: Persistent (typically up to 180 days, but may vary)
• Third parties: Google AdSense, Google LLC, and other ad partners. These partners may use cookies to build a profile of your interests and show you targeted ads on other sites.

3. How Advertising Cookies Work (AdSense)

When you visit Crypticly, Google AdSense may place a cookie on your browser. This cookie collects information such as which pages you visit, the type of content you engage with, and your IP address (in anonymised form). Based on this data, Google and its partners can show you ads for Inheritance Tax services, financial planning tools, or other relevant products. Ad cookies also help us measure how many readers click on ads and whether those clicks lead to conversions.

You can learn more about how Google uses your data at Google’s Privacy & Terms site.

4. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your preferences in the following ways:

4.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through their settings. You can typically block or delete cookies entirely, or set your browser to alert you when a cookie is placed. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of Crypticly.

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

4.2 Ad Personalisation Opt-Out

To opt out of personalised advertising from Google AdSense and other participating ad networks, visit the following resources:

• Google Ad Settings – manage or disable ad personalisation from Google
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out – opt out of interest-based advertising from multiple companies
• Your Online Choices (EU) – European interactive digital advertising alliance

If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see ads on Crypticly, but they will be less relevant (generic, non-personalised).
