Cookie Policy

1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and provide a more personalized experience.

Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are unique to your browser and stored locally on your device. Similar technologies we may use include:

• Local Storage: Browser-based key/value storage for session state (e.g., wallet connection status)
• Session Storage: Temporary data cleared when the browser tab is closed
• Pixel tags: Tiny images used to measure page interactions (anonymized)

2 Why We Use Cookies

DefiSync uses cookies to:

• Keep you signed in and maintain your session security
• Remember your display preferences (language, theme settings)
• Understand how users navigate our platform to improve the experience
• Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive behavior
• Measure the effectiveness of platform features
• Load balance across our infrastructure for consistent performance

3 Types of Cookies We Use

4 Third-Party Cookies

Some features of our platform may use third-party services that set their own cookies. We carefully vet all third-party providers to ensure they meet our privacy standards. Third parties we may use include:

• Cloudflare: Security, DDoS protection, and performance optimization
• Analytics providers: Anonymized, aggregated usage analytics (no PII)
• Wallet connect protocols: WalletConnect and similar open-source tools for wallet integration

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising-related tracking services.

5 Cookie Duration

• Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for authentication and temporary state management.
• Persistent cookies (up to 30 days): Remain until their expiry date. Used for preference storage and returning user recognition.
• Long-term cookies (up to 1 year): Used only for anonymized analytics with explicit consent.

You can clear all cookies at any time through your browser settings without impacting your ability to use the platform, though some preferences may be reset.

6 Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: Configure your browser to block or delete cookies (see Section 7)
• Platform settings: Use our cookie preference center (available in the footer) to opt in or out of optional cookies
• Opt-out tools: Use industry opt-out tools like the DAA opt-out page or NAI opt-out
• Private/Incognito mode: Browsing in private mode limits cookie persistence

Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent the platform from functioning correctly. We recommend allowing at minimum the "Essential" and "Security" cookie categories.

7 Browser-Specific Instructions

To manage cookies in your browser:

For mobile devices, cookie settings are typically found in your browser's privacy or settings menu.

8 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. While there is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, DefiSync honors DNT preferences by disabling all non-essential analytics and tracking cookies when a DNT signal is detected.

Regardless of DNT settings, we never engage in cross-site tracking or build behavioral profiles for advertising purposes.

9 Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices evolve or as required by law. When we make significant changes, we will display a notice on our platform and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of DefiSync after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
