Cookie Policy
Last reviewed on April 30, 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on CollateralizedLoanObligations.com, what they do, and how you can manage them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies let a site remember information about your visit, such as preferences, session state, and analytics or advertising identifiers. The Site also uses similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and tags; throughout this policy, “cookies” refers to all of these.
Categories of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the Site to load and function. They do not collect information used for marketing. Disabling them via your browser will not break the Site, but it can affect performance.
2. Analytics
The Site uses Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*, _gid, _gat and related identifiers) to count visits, measure session length, and understand which pages are most useful. Analytics data is processed in aggregate and is not used to identify individuals. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by managing cookie controls in your browser.
3. Advertising
The Site participates in the Google AdSense advertising program. Google and its advertising partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie and identifiers such as IDE, NID, __gads, __gpi, and ANID — to:
- Show ads relevant to your interests, where personalization applies.
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad (frequency capping).
- Measure the performance of ad campaigns.
- Detect and prevent click fraud and abusive activity.
Other third-party vendors and ad networks active in the AdSense ecosystem may also place cookies for the same purposes.
How to Manage and Opt Out
Google's Controls
- Personalized advertising: manage what Google can use to personalize ads at Google Ads Settings.
- Account-level controls: review activity controls at your Google Account.
- Analytics opt-out: install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Industry Opt-Out Tools
- DAA WebChoices — opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies in the United States and Canada.
- Your Online Choices — equivalent tool for users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
- NAI Opt-Out — Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool.
Browser Settings
Every modern browser lets you view and delete cookies, block third-party cookies, or block all cookies for specific sites. Look for cookie or privacy settings in your browser preferences. Many browsers also offer a private or incognito mode that limits cookie persistence.
Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off without breaking parts of the Site. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect content or layout. Disabling advertising cookies may mean you still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change tools, vendors, or applicable law. The “Last reviewed” date at the top of the page reflects the latest revision.
