The short version
- OfferBin works without any login or tracking cookies of its own.
- We store recent crypto prices in your browser so pages load faster. This contains no personal data.
- Comment cookies are only set if you choose to save your details when commenting.
- Analytics cookies, where used, only help us understand which pages are useful.
What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that lets a site save data on your device. Both can be “first-party” (set by OfferBin) or “third-party” (set by another service used on the page).
What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
obk-markets-v1 | Local storage, functional | Keeps the most recent market data so the price tracker and converter appear instantly on your next visit. No personal data. | Refreshed every few minutes; ignored after 15 minutes |
comment_author_*, comment_author_email_*, comment_author_url_* | Cookie, functional | Set by WordPress only if you tick “Save my name, email and website” when commenting, so you do not need to type them again. | About 1 year |
wp-settings-*, wordpress_logged_in_* | Cookie, necessary | Only for site administrators and authors who log in to WordPress. Visitors do not receive these. | Session to 1 year |
elementor | Local storage, functional | Used by our page builder to remember interface state (for example, pop-ups already shown). | Until cleared |
_ga, _ga_* | Cookie, analytics (if enabled) | Google Analytics: distinguishes visitors and sessions so we can measure usage in aggregate. | Up to 2 years |
Loading live prices from the CoinGecko API and fonts from Google Fonts does not place cookies through OfferBin, but those providers receive your IP address as explained in our Privacy Policy.
Your choices
Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies such as analytics. You can also control cookies and local storage in your browser: block them, delete them, or browse in private mode. The site will still work, though prices may take a moment longer to appear.
To opt out of Google Analytics across websites, you can use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Changes
If we add or remove cookies we will update this table and the “last updated” date above.
