Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Information we collect
We collect standard web analytics data including pages visited, time on site, referral source, and approximate location (country-level). We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it.
Cookies and similar storage
The table below lists everything this site places on your device, what each item is for, and how long it lasts. It covers cookies and the two other kinds of browser storage we use, because the rules treat all three the same way.
| Name | Type | Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
guidetoxrp.cookieConsentGuide to XRP | Local storage | Strictly necessary | Remembers the cookie choice you made, so the banner does not ask again on every page. | 6 months in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland; 12 months elsewhere |
NEXT_LOCALEGuide to XRP | Cookie | Strictly necessary | Records which country and language version of the site you are reading, so a link home returns you to it. | 1 year |
themeGuide to XRP | Local storage | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether you chose dark or light mode. | Until you clear your browser storage |
_gaGoogle | Cookie | Analytics | Tells one visitor apart from another, so a returning reader is not counted as a new one. | 2 years |
_ga_J5FXHVS9WJGoogle | Cookie | Analytics | Holds the session state for this site's Google Analytics property. | 2 years |
Outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics is on unless you turn it off. Inside them, nothing in the analytics rows is set until you accept: Google Analytics runs in consent mode, which sends an anonymous, cookieless signal instead of storing anything. We set no advertising cookies at all.
The first three rows are set only because you did something that requires them, such as choosing a language, switching the theme, or answering the cookie banner. They are first-party, hold no identifier, and are exempt from the consent requirement.
Affiliate partners are separate. When you click through to an exchange, that exchange may set its own cookies on its own site, under its own privacy policy, typically to credit the referral for 30 to 90 days. We do not control those and they are not listed above.
Changing your mind
You can review or change what you agreed to at any time, from any page. Withdrawing consent is as quick as giving it:
Third-party services
We may use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics — for understanding how visitors use the site
- Affiliate partners — when you click an affiliate link, the partner may set cookies to track referrals
Your data rights
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time from the link above, and clear cookies through your browser settings. If you are in the EEA or the UK you also have the right to ask what we hold, to have it corrected or erased, and to complain to your national data protection authority. Google publishes an opt-out browser add-on that blocks Google Analytics on every site at once.
