Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 13 March 2025 | Applies to: coinwise.biz
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies the Coinwise website uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We believe in transparency — you deserve to know exactly what is happening on your device when you visit our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, improve user experience, and — with your consent — to collect analytical information about how visitors use a site.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other files on your device.
There are also similar technologies such as local storage and session storage which behave like cookies but are stored differently in your browser. This policy covers all such technologies where relevant to our website.
2. Cookies We Use
The Coinwise website uses a small number of cookies, grouped below by purpose:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be turned off. They do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cw_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences so you are not shown the banner on every visit | 12 months | First-party |
| PHPSESSID | Maintains your session while you navigate between pages (no personal data stored) | Session | First-party |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. They collect anonymised data and do not identify you personally. We only set these cookies if you have consented.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors; used to generate statistical data about site usage | 2 years |

IP addresses collected by analytics services are anonymised. We do not use analytics data for advertising targeting or profiling.
No advertising or targeting cookies. Coinwise does not use cookies for retargeting, behavioural advertising, or cross-site tracking. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.
3. Third-Party Cookies & Services
When you visit our website, some content may be served by or interact with third-party services. These services may set their own cookies, subject to their own privacy policies:
- Google Maps — Our contact page embeds a Google Maps iframe. If you interact with the map, Google may set cookies per Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Analytics — Analytics data is processed by Google LLC per their data processing terms. Data may be transferred to servers outside Malaysia. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymisation enabled.
- Font Awesome & Google Fonts — Used for icons and typography. These services may log your IP address as a standard server request; they do not set persistent tracking cookies.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
Via Our Cookie Banner
When you first visit our website, a banner allows you to accept or decline optional analytics cookies. You can revisit this choice at any time by clearing your cw_cookie_consent browser cookie and refreshing the page.
Via Your Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across any website, regardless of consent settings.
5. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and in alignment with international best practice:
- Essential cookies are used on the basis of legitimate interest — they are strictly necessary for the website to function and are set without requiring consent.
- Analytics cookies are only placed upon your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
6. Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy as our website evolves or as regulatory requirements change. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any revisions. We recommend revisiting this page periodically if you would like to stay informed.
