Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how OnlineGold.org ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the Site, you consent to the use of cookies as described here, subject to the opt-out choices outlined below.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site — and, in some cases, third parties — to recognize your device, remember preferences, measure usage, and deliver relevant content and ads. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage; references to "cookies" in this policy include those technologies where applicable.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the Site to function. They are typically set in response to actions you take — loading a page, remembering your cookie preferences, or balancing traffic across servers. You cannot disable these without breaking parts of the Site.

b) Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (including Google Analytics) to understand how visitors navigate the Site, which pages are most useful, and where content can be improved. Analytics data is processed in aggregate and, where supported, IP addresses are anonymized. These cookies help us improve content quality and do not personally identify you.

c) Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

OnlineGold.org may participate in the Google AdSense program. When we display ads, Google and its advertising partners, including third-party vendors, may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. These cookies enable Google and its partners to show personalized or non-personalized ads, measure ad performance, and limit how many times you see the same ad. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses the DoubleClick DART cookie and similar identifiers to serve ads across the web.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page, or by visiting aboutads.info (US) or YourOnlineChoices.com (EU/UK). For more information on how Google uses data when you use our Site, see Google's partner sites policy.

d) Third-Party Embed Cookies

Our live prices and analysis pages embed charts from TradingView. TradingView may set its own cookies when you interact with embedded charts. Those cookies are governed by TradingView's own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Google AdSense Disclosure

OnlineGold.org uses (or may use) Google AdSense to serve ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
