This page explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on mineralscoins.com, and how you can control them.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. It can be read back on a later visit, which allows a site to remember information. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver malware, but they can be used to build a record of browsing activity across sites.
Cookies we set
MineralsCoins does not set its own tracking or advertising cookies. The site requires no login, stores no profile and does not need a cookie to function. You can play every quiz with cookies fully disabled.
Quiz progress and scores exist only in your browser's working memory while a round is open. They are not written to a cookie and are lost as soon as you reload or close the page.
Third-party cookies
We intend to fund the site through advertising, and advertising partners commonly set cookies of their own. These typically fall into the following groups:
- Advertising cookies. Used to select which ads are shown, to limit how often you see the same ad, and in some cases to personalise advertising based on your browsing history.
- Measurement cookies. Used by advertising networks to count impressions and detect invalid traffic.
- Analytics cookies. If an analytics service is used, it may set a cookie to distinguish between new and returning visits in aggregate reporting.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or to other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.
How to control cookies
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. The relevant settings are usually found under Privacy or Site Settings:
- Chrome: Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies
- Firefox: Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings › Privacy › Block all cookies
- Edge: Settings › Cookies and site permissions
Blocking cookies will not break this site. It may make advertising less relevant, and it can affect other websites that depend on cookies to keep you signed in.
Do Not Track
Browsers can send a Do Not Track signal. There is still no agreed industry standard for responding to it, so we do not currently alter behaviour based on that signal. We do not track visitors across other websites ourselves in any case.
