Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 2025

This page explains how Shiba Inu Price Prediction uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on shibainupriceprediction.com (the site). Think of it as the companion document to our Privacy Policy — that one covers personal data in general, this one zooms in on what’s getting stored in your browser and why. To get the full picture of how we handle your information, read both.

The company behind the site is based in the United Arab Emirates and operates in line with the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (the “UAE PDPL”) and its implementing regulations. Where visitors are based in the United Kingdom or the European Union, we also aim to align with the cookie consent standards set by UK and EU GDPR, since those rules can apply to overseas operators that target or monitor users in those regions.

We’ve tried to keep this readable. Cookies are one of those topics where the official wording can turn dense in a hurry, so where a plain word will do, we’ve used it.

1. What cookies actually are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep on your device. Next time you visit that site (or sometimes another one), the cookie can be read back, which is how the site can remember things — like the fact that you’ve already dismissed a banner, or that you came from a particular search result.

Some cookies are set by the website you’re actually on — those are “first-party” cookies. Others are set by services the site uses or embeds, like analytics tools, ad networks, or video players — those are “third-party” cookies, and they’re the ones regulators tend to pay the most attention to.

Cookies also vary by how long they hang around:

Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. They’re for short-term things, like tracking what you’re doing in a single visit.
Persistent cookies stick around for a defined period — a day, a year, somewhere in between — and get read back on later visits.

Beyond cookies in the strict sense, websites use a handful of similar technologies — pixels, web beacons, local storage, session storage, software development kits in mobile apps. For the sake of keeping this readable we’ll lump them all under “cookies,” even though that’s a small simplification.

2. The short version of what we do

If you don’t want to read the whole document:

We use cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to run, plus a few non-essential ones for analytics, advertising, and remembering your preferences.
Non-essential cookies only fire if you agree to them in our cookie banner.
You can change your mind whenever you like using the cookie settings link in our footer.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though doing that may break some parts of the site.

3. Why we use cookies

Cookies do a few different jobs on this site. The main ones:

Keeping the site working. Some cookies are technically necessary — for example, to remember the cookie preferences you’ve already set so we don’t keep asking you on every page.
Understanding how the site is used. Analytics cookies show us which articles people read, how long they stay on a page, where the slow spots are, and where visitors are coming from. We use that data to improve what we publish.
Serving and measuring ads. If we run advertising — and most independent crypto news sites do, to pay the bills — ad partners may use cookies to choose what ads to show, limit repetition, and measure ad performance. Where consent is required for this, we ask for it.
Affiliate tracking. When you click one of our affiliate links and sign up or buy something on the destination site, cookies are typically how that destination knows the referral came from us, so we get credited.
Remembering small choices. Things like language, dark mode, or whether you’ve already dismissed a particular popup.
Security and abuse prevention. Some cookies help us spot bots, prevent comment spam, and protect the site from misuse.

4. The categories of cookies we use

Most cookie consent systems group cookies into the same four buckets, so we’re sticking with that structure.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are the cookies the site genuinely can’t run without. They don’t track you for marketing, they don’t profile you, and they don’t need your consent because the basic service can’t be delivered without them.

What they’re for: remembering your cookie consent choices, keeping the site secure, balancing traffic across servers, supporting basic features like submitting a comment.

Analytics and performance cookies

These help us understand how visitors actually use the site — which articles get read, how people got here, what’s loading slowly, where things break. We use the data to make the site better and to focus on the kind of content readers actually want.

We typically use Google Analytics for this, although we may also use privacy-focused alternatives like Plausible or Fathom in some cases. We try to use anonymised or aggregated data wherever we reasonably can.

Advertising cookies

If we run advertising on the site, advertising cookies are set by us or by our ad partners. They’re used to:

Choose which ads to show you, sometimes based on the topics you’ve shown interest in
Limit how often you see the same ad
Measure ad performance — impressions, clicks, conversions
Detect ad fraud and invalid traffic

The specific providers we use depend on which networks we’re working with at the moment. The major players in this space include Google AdSense, Ezoic, Mediavine, and similar. The current list shows up in our cookie banner, and you can also email us for the up-to-date picture.

Functional cookies

These remember the small choices you make so the site feels less repetitive on your next visit — language, theme, dismissed notifications, whether you’ve already seen a particular popup. They don’t track you across other sites and they don’t drive advertising.

5. Third-party services that may set cookies

The site uses a handful of third-party services, and some of them set their own cookies. The mix changes over time as we add or drop tools, but the main categories are:

Analytics platforms (e.g. Google Analytics) for understanding site usage.
Advertising networks (e.g. Google AdSense, Ezoic, Mediavine, or similar) for serving and measuring ads.
Email and newsletter providers (e.g. Mailchimp, ConvertKit, MailerLite, or similar) for running our subscriber lists and tracking newsletter signups.
Embedded content — when an article embeds a tweet, YouTube video, TradingView chart, or similar, those platforms set their own cookies on visitors who interact with the embed.
Social media buttons — share buttons for X (Twitter), Facebook, Telegram, Reddit, and others may set cookies when you interact with them.
Affiliate networks — exchanges, services, and affiliate platforms we partner with may set cookies when you click an affiliate link so they can attribute the referral back to us.
Comment systems — if we use a third-party comment service, it may set cookies to manage logins and discussion threads.
Security and CDN providers (e.g. Cloudflare) for keeping the site fast and protecting it from attacks.

Most of these providers are based outside the UAE — usually in the United States or the European Union — so cookie data set by them may be processed in those jurisdictions. Each one has its own cookie policy and privacy policy, and we don’t control what they do with the data once you’ve interacted with them. If you want to dig into the specifics of any of them, the easiest place to start is their own privacy or cookie page. Our Privacy Policy goes into more detail on how we handle international transfers of personal data.

6. How long cookies last

Lifespans vary widely. Strictly necessary and functional cookies often last anywhere from a single session up to a year. Analytics cookies are typically set for a few months up to two years. Advertising cookies tend to sit in a similar range. The exact duration of each cookie is shown in the detailed list inside our cookie consent banner.

7. Managing cookies on our site

The first time you visit, you’ll see a cookie banner asking what you’re happy with. You’ve got three broad options:

Accept all — every category of cookie described above is enabled.
Reject all (or “Only necessary”) — only the strictly necessary cookies fire. The site still works, you’ll just see less targeted ads and we’ll have less data on what to improve.
Manage preferences — pick and choose by category.

You can change your mind at any point by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of the site. That reopens the preferences panel and lets you turn categories on or off. New choices apply going forward.

8. Managing cookies in your browser

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, separately from our consent banner. Every major browser lets you:

See which cookies are stored on your device
Delete cookies, individually or all at once
Block cookies from specific sites, or block all third-party cookies
Set the browser to ask you each time a site wants to set a cookie
Use private or incognito mode, which clears cookies when you close the window

The exact path depends on the browser. Quick pointers:

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Settings → Privacy
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Brave: Settings → Shields → Cookies, plus the Shields panel for per-site control

Blocking all cookies can break things — some sites just stop working. Blocking only third-party cookies is a reasonable middle ground if you want to limit cross-site tracking without breaking everything else.

If you’d rather not deal with browser settings at all, there are dedicated tools — privacy-focused browsers (Brave, Firefox with strict mode), browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger, and operating-system-level controls on iOS and Android.

9. Do Not Track and global privacy signals

Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” header or a Global Privacy Control signal to websites. There’s no settled global standard on how websites have to respond. Where our cookie consent platform supports it, we’ll honour these signals as a request to limit non-essential cookies. The most reliable way to control what we collect is still the cookie banner and the cookie settings link in our footer.

10. Your rights

Cookie data that identifies you, directly or indirectly, counts as personal data under the UAE PDPL — and, where it applies to you, under UK and EU GDPR. That means you have rights over it, including the right to access it, correct it, delete it, restrict its processing, and withdraw any consent you’ve given. Our Privacy Policy walks through these rights in detail and explains how to exercise them.

If you have a complaint about how we use cookies that we can’t resolve directly, you can also contact a data protection authority. In the UAE, that’s the UAE Data Office. If you’re based in the DIFC or ADGM free zones, separate regimes apply (the DIFC Commissioner of Data Protection or the ADGM Office of Data Protection respectively). If you’re in the UK or the EU, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or your local supervisory authority.

11. Changes to this cookie policy

We may update this policy from time to time — when we add or drop tools, when the law shifts, or when something just needs clearer wording. The “Last updated” date at the top will always reflect the latest version. If a change is significant, we’ll do our best to flag it more visibly.

If you keep using the site after an update is posted, that means you accept the new version.

12. More information and contact

For more detail about cookies in general, the All About Cookies project (allaboutcookies.org) is a useful plain-English starting point, as are the published guidance documents from regulators like the UK ICO and various EU data protection authorities.

If you have questions about cookies on this specific site, or you want to know exactly which providers we’re using right now, email us at mail@shibainupriceprediction.com and we’ll come back to you as soon as we reasonably can.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for caring enough to check.
