BullionFerret uses a small number of cookies to make the site work properly and remember your preferences. We do not use any cookies for advertising or third-party tracking.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They allow websites to remember information between page visits.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies
These are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled.

Preference cookies
These remember your chosen settings so you don't have to set them on every visit. On your first visit, they are set automatically based on your approximate location (detected from your IP address using a local database — no data is sent to any third party for this).

Third-party cookies
BullionFerret does not set any third-party cookies. We do not use advertising networks, social media widgets, or third-party analytics services.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Each browser handles this differently — consult your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the site from functioning correctly, and clearing preference cookies will reset your currency, unit, and country settings to defaults on your next visit.
You can change your currency, weight unit, and country preferences at any time using the selectors on the site. These update the corresponding cookies automatically.
Changes to this policy
If we add new cookies — for example, when we introduce user accounts — we will update this page. We will update the "last updated" date at the top when changes are made.
