This Policy allows you to understand how and why we use them so that you can make an informed choice about their use during your browsing.

When you first visit our Websites, we ask for your consent to the use of cookies for different purposes. You have the option to Allow all cookies, Customize your cookies (i.e. preferences, statistics and/or marketing) or Deny cookies via the cookie settings banner. We do not need your consent to use strictly necessary cookies and we may process personal data collected via strictly necessary cookies based on a legitimate interest, where CoinShares’ interest in maintaining the website overrides the visitor's interest in not having the information processed.

During your browsing, you can always change or withdraw your consent to cookies at any time by changing your cookie preferences through the Cookiebot tool located at the bottom left of the Website.

What are cookies, and why do we use them?

Cookies are small text files which the website you are visiting asks to save on your device. Cookies are stored on the Visitor’s computer, tablet, smartphone or other devices. Cookies then allow us to recognise that device, track your browsing and record helpful information to optimise your visit and ability to access the various features of our Websites.

Cookies can be classified by their lifetime and by the domain to which they belong:

  • By legitimacy:

    • Necessary: Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling essential functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

    • Preferences: Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language, the type of investor you are or the region that you are in.

    • Statistics: Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with their website (i.e. what are the most popular pages on the website). 

    • Marketing: Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.

    • Unclassified: Unclassified cookies are cookies that we are in the process of classifying, together with the providers of individual cookies.

  • By duration:

    • Session cookies: These are cookies that are deleted when the user closes the web browser.

    • Persistent cookies: These are cookies that remain stored on the hard disk of the user's terminal for a predefined period.

  • By domain:

    • First-party cookies: These are cookies deposited by the server of the visited website that shares the same domain.

    • Third-party cookies: These are cookies that are deposited by a domain other than that of the website visited. Because of the way they work, we cannot access the data collected by third-party cookies, and in particular, we cannot control all the tracking functions of third-party tools. However, these providers are required to comply with applicable data protection regulations.

We may use different types of cookies.

Which tools do we use and can you opt-out?

Because of how cookies and similar technologies work, we cannot access data collected by third-party cookies, or persons access the data generated by such tools, and in particular, not all tracking functions of third-party tools can be controlled by us.

All the following providers are obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations and are solely responsible for any processing of personal data as a data controller. Some third-party providers act as data processors and as such, CoinShares is responsible for ensuring these providers comply with the above-mentioned regulation.
