Cookie Policy

Last Updated:

Circle uses cookies and similar technologies to provide you with an enhanced user experience as well as allowing us to analyse and improve our Services. We would not be able to provide you with all of our Services, including certain personalised features, without the use of cookies and related technology and as such, your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other enabled mobile device (which we refer to collectively in this policy as a “device”) will need to be set up to enable such technologies. We also use cookies for our analytics, marketing and advertising purposes, as well as to support security, and fraud prevention. 

For information about your choices related to our use of cookies, including how to disable cookies, see Section 2 below.

‍

1. What do we mean when we use the term ‘cookie’, ‘web beacon’ or ‘similar technology’?

Cookies is a term used to describe is a small text files (typically made of letters and numbers) that are downloaded and stored on your browser or your device by websites that you visit. They are sometimes considered as forming part of the “memory” of your use of websites and related services as they allow service providers to remember you and respond appropriately.

We also use related technologies such as software development kits (SDKs), local storage, pixels, and web beacons (also called clear gifs or tags) to understand usage and the effectiveness of our communications.

Cookies are typically split into 2 main types, namely:

  • Session cookies – stored only during your browsing session and deleted when your browser closes.
  • Persistent cookies – remain on your device for a set period or until deleted.

Circle uses both of these types of cookies.

Cookies can also be further categorized as follows:

  • Strictly necessary – required to operate the Services (e.g., authentication, fraud prevention, load balancing, consent, and language settings).
  • Performance / analytics – help us measure and improve the Services (e.g., page performance, aggregate usage).
  • Functional – remember choices (e.g. region) to provide enhanced features.
  • Advertising / targeting – help deliver and measure ads and content relevant to your interests, including cross-context behavioral advertising. Advertising cookies are usually placed by advertising platforms that work with other organizations to deliver personalized experiences to you. We may also disclose this information to third parties for this purpose.

2. Your Choices — Managing Cookies & Signals

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have options which could include Accept All, Reject All, Opt-out of Sale/Share, or make granular opt-in/opt-out choices for each category of cookies via the “Your Privacy Choices” link (in our website footer). Through this link, you may provide or withdraw consent at any time. 

You can also manage your cookies (including the enabling or disabling of cookies) by using your browser. For example, you can block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including cookies that are strictly necessary) you may not be able to access all or parts of our Services. Each browser is different and as such we suggest that you check the ‘Help’ menu on your particular browser to learn how to change your cookie preference. 

For users located in the EEA and UK, we set non-essential cookies only after you provide prior opt-in consent through our Cookie Banner or Cookie Preference Center. You can withdraw or change your choices at any time through the “Your Privacy Choices” link.

In all cases, strictly necessary cookies remain enabled to deliver the Services.

Where required by law, we automatically apply your choices if your browser or device sends a recognized opt-out preference signal (e.g., Global Privacy Control).

3. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we update this Cookie Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Cookie Policy and post a link to the updated Cookie Policy on the Services. Changes to this Cookie Policy are effective when they are posted. If we make any material changes, we will provide you with notice as required under applicable law. Please review this Cookie Policy periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes.
