Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 26, 2026

Who We Are

CryptoCardsLab ("we", "us", "our") operates the website cryptocardslab.com. The site is run by Ezreal and a small team of crypto researchers — see our About page for background. This policy explains how we handle information when you visit our site. For privacy-related questions, contact [email protected].

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected

When you visit our site, we may collect limited analytics data through two systems: Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and a lightweight self-hosted analytics endpoint used for our internal dashboard.

• Pages visited, referral source, and timestamps
• Device, browser, and operating-system information
• Approximate geographic location at the country level
• A pseudonymous daily visitor ID derived from your IP address
• A masked IP address in our self-hosted logs (for example, IPv4 stored as x.x.x.0 rather than the full address)

We do not use our self-hosted analytics to build advertising audiences, track you across other sites, or collect account-level profiles.

Information You Provide

We do not currently collect personal information directly (e.g., no contact forms, accounts, or email subscriptions). If this changes, we will update this policy.

How We Use Information

We use analytics data solely to:

• Understand which content is most useful to visitors
• Improve site performance and user experience
• Monitor site traffic trends and landing-page performance
• Aggregate traffic by device, operating system, and referrer in our internal dashboard

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal data.

Cookies

GA4 may use first-party cookies to distinguish visits and sessions. Our self-hosted analytics endpoint does not set advertising cookies and does not create cross-site tracking identifiers.

If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we skip both GA4 and our self-hosted analytics script.

Google AdSense and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. See "Advertising" below for details and opt-out options.

Advertising

We display advertisements served by Google AdSense to support our independent research. AdSense and its third-party advertising vendors may:

• Use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads relevant to your interests
• Process limited personal data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited
• Share data with measurement and ad-personalization partners under Google's policies

Your choices:

• If you are in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or California, a Google-managed consent banner appears on your first visit. You can withdraw or change consent at any time by clearing this site's cookies and reloading the page.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising on Google properties at Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of third-party vendor personalization at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).

For full details, see Google's advertising policy.

Third-Party Services

• Google Analytics (GA4) — web analytics. Google's Privacy Policy
• Google AdSense — advertising. How Google uses ad data
• Google Fonts — web font delivery for site typography. Google's Privacy Policy
• Cloudflare — CDN and security. Cloudflare's Privacy Policy

When you click affiliate links, you will be directed to third-party sites with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to read those policies.

Data Retention

GA4 data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted according to our GA settings.

Our self-hosted analytics data is stored in a server-side JSON log used only for internal reporting. That log contains page/referrer/device data, a masked IP address, country code, and a pseudonymous daily visitor ID. It is separate from GA4.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because our self-hosted analytics is pseudonymous and does not use account logins, many requests may still need to be directed to Google for GA4 data. If you have questions, contact us at the email below.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
