Cookies & local storage
Read and use the research without optional analytics. You decide whether measurement is enabled.
Your choice comes first.
Google, Vercel and Ahrefs measurement scripts remain unloaded until you allow analytics. Rejecting does not remove access to articles, calculators or comparisons. Change your choice in the footer at any time. Withdrawal reloads the page to stop installed measurement scripts and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies.
A browser Global Privacy Control signal keeps optional analytics off. Hosting, security and delivery requests remain necessary to serve the website. Blocking optional analytics does not remove data already received by a provider.
What is stored on this device?
Essential preferences and features
bctb-privacy-v1: your yes/no analytics choice, policy version and expiry in local storage, valid for 183 days. No advertising identifier is created by this preference.
Saved research: bctb:research-library:v1 stores requested bookmarks. The comparison workspace can store its selected research IDs and view preferences in bctb-research-comparison-v1. These stay in this browser until you clear them; they are not account profiles.
Search terms, calculators and fit-tool answers are processed in the browser. Our custom commerce event contains only partner name, placement and affiliate status, not these inputs. Never enter or send real recovery words, private keys or account credentials.
Google Analytics / optional
Optional audience measurement, page views and device/browser information. Advertising signals are disabled in our tag configuration.
First-party _ga and _ga_* cookies: capped at 183 days by this site's configuration, without rolling cookie renewal.
Provider documentationVercel Web Analytics / optional
Optional aggregated page views and named commerce-link events. Our URL filter removes query strings and fragments and allows published pages only.
No analytics cookies according to Vercel; its visitor hash is discarded after 24 hours. That is not a promise to delete all aggregate reports after 24 hours.
Provider documentationAhrefs Web Analytics / optional
Optional aggregated traffic measurement. Page/referral information and browser/device signals may be processed by the provider.
Cookie-free by default according to Ahrefs. Cookie-free does not mean no processing or automatic legal exemption.
Provider documentationHosting, security and technical logs
Vercel serves this website and may process IP address, requested URL, timestamps and device/request metadata for delivery, abuse prevention and diagnostics. We rely on the legitimate interest in operating a reliable, secure site for this necessary processing (GDPR Article 6(1)(f), where applicable).
Technical-log and provider report retention depends on the relevant service settings and contracts. We do not represent an unverified account setting as a fixed retention period. See Vercel's privacy policy for its processing and transfer information.
Affiliate links, external websites and contact
Amazon links include our public tracking tag bestcryptotobuy-20. Clicking opens Amazon, where Amazon applies its own privacy/cookie choices and may attribute qualifying purchases. We do not receive your payment details from the link. A link click is not proof of a purchase. Trezor and Ledger are direct, uncommissioned manufacturer links unless a link is explicitly marked paid.
No merchant tracking pixel, checkout, newsletter form or advertising retargeting pixel is installed by this integration. External sites receive ordinary browser request information after you leave. Read their policies before purchasing.
If you email us, we receive the information you choose to send and ordinary email metadata through email service providers. We use it to answer the request, investigate corrections and meet applicable recordkeeping duties, not as automatic marketing consent. Correspondence is kept only as needed for that purpose and applicable legal requirements.
Who to contact
The website operator and privacy contact is Felix Hesse, info@bestcryptotobuy.org, +49 156 7963 2521. Public contact addresses: Wiener Str. 46, 01069 Dresden, Germany; 100 Park Ave, Manhattan, NY 10017, USA. Contact details.
Legal basis, international processing and your rights
Where GDPR applies, optional analytics is based on consent (Article 6(1)(a)); necessary device storage is limited to the choice or functionality you request. Contact handling uses the applicable contractual/pre-contractual basis or legitimate interest in replying to enquiries. Providers can process data outside your country, including the US; international-transfer safeguards and processor agreements must be evaluated for the actual service and account. Consent is not a claim that every transfer is automatically lawful.
Subject to applicable law, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to processing, and withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. Contact us with the page or service involved; do not send identity documents unless needed through an agreed secure process. You may complain to a competent supervisory authority, including the Saxon data-protection authority for the Dresden contact.
This notice describes the implemented website. It is not a certification of the operator's provider contracts, account retention settings or jurisdiction-specific compliance. Material changes to optional processing require a new choice version.
