Cookies, Analytics, Advertising, and Similar Technologies
CryptoSlate and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, server logs, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, analyze traffic, prevent abuse, and support advertising.
These technologies may include:
- Strictly necessary technologies that allow the website to function, maintain security, and provide requested services.
- Analytics technologies that help us understand how readers find, navigate, and use the website.

CryptoSlate may work with advertising and monetization partners, including Freestar and other ad technology providers, to display ads and measure advertising performance. These partners may collect or receive information about your device, browser, IP address, approximate location, page views, ad views, interactions, and similar online activity. Depending on your location and privacy choices, this activity may be considered targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, “sharing,” or a “sale” under certain privacy laws.
CryptoSlate does not currently provide an on-site cookie settings tool. You can manage certain cookie and advertising choices through your browser settings, device settings, privacy extensions, Global Privacy Control where supported, and applicable industry opt-out tools. Some choices are browser- or device-specific, so you may need to repeat your choices if you use a different browser or device or clear your cookies.
Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing, you may contact us at [email protected].
Daily Email Newsletter
CryptoSlate uses Substack to manage and distribute our daily email newsletter. If you subscribe to the newsletter, Substack may process your email address, subscription status, email engagement, and related technical information to deliver the newsletter and manage your subscription.
You can unsubscribe from the daily newsletter using the unsubscribe link available in each newsletter email. Newsletter unsubscribe options may also be available through newsletter subscription pages on CryptoSlate.com or Substack-managed pages.
Substack’s processing of personal information may also be governed by its own privacy policy and terms.
How We Share Personal Information

- Business transaction parties in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction involving all or part of our business.
We do not sell personal information for money. However, some advertising, analytics, and affiliate activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain privacy laws. You may contact us at [email protected] to exercise applicable opt-out rights.
