This Privacy Policy explains how Crypto for Old People (“we,” “us,” or “our”), which operates the website cryptoforoldpeople.com, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our site. We’ve written it in plain language because our whole mission is to make things clear for people who are new to this.
The short version
We do not sell your personal information. We don’t ask you to create an account or hand over sensitive details just to read our articles. The main information collected is standard, anonymous website analytics and advertising data, which is handled by Google. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time, and we explain how below.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you choose to contact us, we receive whatever information you include in your message, such as your name and email address. We use it only to respond to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, how long you stay, and the website you came from. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies and how they’re used
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps websites remember your visit. We use cookies for two main purposes: understanding how visitors use the site (analytics) and supporting the advertising that keeps the site free.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Turning off cookies will not stop you from reading our articles.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We display ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info. Opting out does not remove ads — it simply makes them less tailored to you.
Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand which articles are helpful and how visitors find us. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited and approximate location, in a way that does not personally identify you to us. This helps us improve the site. You can learn more at Google’s Privacy & Terms page, and you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on if you prefer not to be measured.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site may be affiliate links, including to the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. If you click one and sign up or make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. When you click an affiliate link, the partner company may set its own cookie to credit the referral. Please see our Affiliate Disclosure page for full details.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content
- To understand which topics are most useful to our readers
- To display advertising that helps keep the site free
- To respond to you if you contact us
- To protect the site against fraud, abuse, and technical problems
Sharing of information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. Information may be processed by the trusted service providers we use to run the site, such as Google (for analytics and advertising) and our website host. These providers handle data under their own privacy policies.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Because we collect very little personal information directly, most readers can exercise control simply by adjusting their browser and Google ad settings. If you’d like to make a request, you can contact us using the details below.
Children’s privacy
This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
Contact us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please reach out through the contact details on our website and we’ll be glad to help.
