Cookie Policy

What this page covers

A cookie is a small text file that a website, or something embedded in it, asks the browser to keep. The next time the browser visits the same domain, the cookie is sent back. This page explains the categories of cookies set when a reader uses tickers.info, who sets them, why, how long they last, and how to turn them off.

The page is paired with the broader privacy policy; this one focuses specifically on cookies and similar local-storage technologies.

Categories used on tickers.info

1. Strictly necessary

These are first-party items the site uses to render pages and remember basic UI state — for example, whether the mobile menu is open, or which ticker the reader is currently looking at. They do not track behaviour across sites and cannot be turned off without breaking the site.

2. Analytics

tickers.info uses Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate traffic patterns. Typical cookies include _ga and _ga_<ID>, set by Google. They expire after roughly two years and are used to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. Analytics data is processed in aggregate; no attempt is made to identify individual readers.

A reader who would prefer to opt out of Google Analytics can install Google's official opt-out browser add-on, or use the cookie banner where it is offered.

3. Advertising — Google AdSense

tickers.info displays advertising via Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies and similar identifiers to:

• Serve and render ads on the page.
• Frequency-cap (avoid showing the same ad too many times).
• Measure ad impressions and clicks for billing and reporting.
• Detect invalid traffic and ad fraud.
• Personalise ads based on prior visits to this site and other sites, where the reader has consented or where personalised ads are the default under local law.

Google maintains the authoritative list of types of cookies it uses for advertising and measurement. The current list is published at business.safety.google/adscookies.

4. Third-party widgets — TradingView

The market-data, charts, news and economic-calendar widgets are loaded from TradingView. TradingView may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy to remember widget preferences such as theme and timeframe. See TradingView's privacy policy for details.

5. Fonts and other infrastructure

The site loads webfonts from Google Fonts. This is a network request rather than a cookie set on tickers.info, but it does mean the font provider sees the reader's IP for the purpose of serving the font.

How to control cookies

A reader can:

• Use the consent banner where it appears, to accept, reject or customise non-essential categories.
• Manage cookies directly in browser settings — most browsers can block third-party cookies, clear cookies on exit, or block cookies per site.
• Manage Google's personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of personalised advertising from many vendors at once via aboutads.info (DAA), thenai.org (NAI), or YourOnlineChoices.eu (EDAA, in Europe).

Disabling advertising or analytics cookies does not remove ads — it limits personalisation and measurement. Disabling strictly-necessary cookies will degrade the site experience.

Do Not Track

Web browsers can send a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. tickers.info honours GPC where applicable law (notably the CCPA and similar US state laws) treats it as a valid opt-out signal for the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Beyond that, "Do Not Track" remains an unstandardised hint and is not relied on by the analytics or advertising vendors used here.

Changes to this policy

As the site adopts or removes vendors, this list will change. Material updates are reflected in the "Last reviewed" date at the top of the page.
