  • The display of interest-based ads from Coinzilla can be disabled by clicking on the opt-out button below. It should be noted that you will still be able to see Coinzilla's content recommendations even if the opt-out function is enabled. Opting out prevents Coinzilla from using your Information to generate recommendations based on your particular interests. The recommendations you will receive from now on will be based on the specific website you are visiting (i.e., contextually based ads).

You can opt out using our form at the Coinzilla opt-out page.

  • Not Opted-Out: You will receive personalized recommendations from Coinzilla based on your browsing history.
  • Opted-Out: Your activity will no longer be tracked by Coinzilla, and therefore, you will not be receiving personalized content recommendations derived from your past online activities.
    • As we individually track device or browser operations, you will need to opt out on each device and browser individually in order to opt out completely across multiple devices.
    • Your opt-out may not come into effect if your browser is set to reject cookies, as we have already recognized your opt-out configuration based on an opt-out cookie that we've sent to you. For the opt-out to be effective in this scenario, you will be required to confirm that your browser has the proper configuration. Users that have a Safari browser on iOS11 or macOS High Sierra first have to change their Privacy and Security Settings in order to disable "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" and "Block All Cookies" and then access, once again, this privacy policy or their opt-out platform of choice to reset the opt-out settings.
    • Technologies that do not use cookies may be used by Coinzilla in very few specific situations. These technologies work in a similar manner to cookies, as they help us create tailored ad recommendations based on your interests and verify if the opt-out function was enabled. Please keep in mind that you may not be able to restrict the use of non-cookie technologies with certain web browsers, but you can go to the "User Choices" section on this page and click on the Opt-Out feature to have this function enabled.
  • Users can also disable getting targeted ads from Coinzilla and other advertising companies.
    • The NAI opt out tool stops Coinzilla and other NAI-approved member companies from sending you targeted ads. The NAI offers a guideline on how to opt out from mobile devices that run on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone operating systems.
    • The Digital Advertising Alliance affiliate websites also feature more information regarding User Choices and how to disable targeted advertising for each of the member companies.

    • The DAAC consumer choice page is available to Canadian Users at www.youradchoices.ca/choices.

    • You will still be able to see the advertisements from the companies featured in the DAA, DAAC, or EDAA consumer choice pages, even if you have activated the opt-out function. Opting out prevents these companies from using your Information to create ad recommendations based on your particular interests. The recommendations you will receive from now on will be based on the specific website you are visiting (i.e., contextually based ads).
    • Your opt-out may not be effective if your browser has been set to reject opt-out cookies when visiting DAA, DAAC, or EDAA consumer choice pages (these cookies notice companies if your opt-out preference is enabled).

2.7 How We Keep User information

For ad-related purposes, User Information may be held for twelve (12) months since the User last interacted with our Services, after which we will de-identify the information by removing unique identifiers or aggregating the data.

This type of data cannot be used for the identification of an individual or device.

The ad placement of Coinzilla is based on the principle that they should be featured in places that are of interest and have the most relevance to visitors. By enabling ad networks to place their own cookies when our Sites receive a visitor, we are able to place our ads organically.

Ad networks are able to identify past visitors of Coinzilla’s Sites through the use of these cookies. The ad network will be able to deliver a Coinzilla advertisement on any of its new ad spaces on a third-party website to the same individual that visited the Coinzilla Sites, as its cookies recorded his activity and noted his interest in Coinzilla.

Site Visitors may opt out of third-party ad networks and advertisers that collect Information on the Sites that serve ads about Coinzilla.

You will still be able to see the advertisements from the companies displayed in the DAA, DAAC, or EDAA consumer choice pages, even if the opt-out function is enabled. Opting out averts these companies from using your Information to generate ad recommendations based on your particular interests. The advertisements you will receive from now on will be based on the specific website you are visiting (i.e., contextually based ads).

Your opt-out may not be effective if your browser has been configured to reject opt-out cookies when visiting sites from the DAA, DAAC, or EDAA consumer choice pages (these cookies notice if the opt-out preference is set in your browser).

As mentioned above, in order to provide our services, we may disclose your personal data to our contractors (Coinzilla's Affiliates, parent companies, and/or subsidiaries), who may be located both in the EU and outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA").

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, all the member states of the European Union have uniform protection of personal data and personal privacy. This also applies in the EEA countries. Personal data can thus be transmitted freely within this area without any restrictions (e.g., Germany, France).

Your data is transferred to USA, India, and Singapore based on standard contractual clauses. Copies of the implemented standard contractual clauses can be provided upon request.

Japan is recognized as providing an adequate level of protection.
