Cookie Policy

Effective August 29, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Blockbates (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit blockbates.com, demo.blockbates.com, and the related applications, tools, and features we operate (collectively, the “Services”).

When these technologies store or reveal personal information, our Privacy Policy also applies.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, software development kits, tags, and APIs that allow a website or application to remember information, maintain security, and provide requested features.

First-party technologies are set by the site you visit. Third-party technologies are provided by another service, such as a wallet or infrastructure provider.

2. Technologies Blockbates Uses

Strictly necessary storage

Blockbates uses browser storage that is necessary to provide and secure the Services. This storage may be used to:

• keep you signed in after your wallet has verified a session;
• remember when a session began and enforce session expiration;
• restore a submitted purchase while its blockchain transaction is being verified;
• maintain wallet connection state and network settings; and
• protect against unauthorized or duplicate actions.

These technologies are set in response to actions you request. Blocking them may prevent wallet sign-in, transaction recovery, purchases, or other parts of the Services from working.

Optional analytics and advertising

Blockbates does not currently set first-party advertising cookies or optional first-party analytics cookies. We will update this policy and provide any consent controls required by law before introducing such technologies.

3. Third-Party Technologies

Wallet, blockchain, hosting, database, and infrastructure providers may use cookies or similar technologies when their interfaces or services are used. Their use of these technologies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, not this Cookie Policy.

4. How to Manage Browser Storage

You can review, block, or delete cookies and site data through your browser or device settings. Controls are commonly found under Privacy, Security, Cookies, or Site Data. You can also disconnect your wallet and clear Blockbates site data to remove locally stored session information.

Deleting browser storage will sign you out and may remove pending transaction recovery information. It does not delete public blockchain records or off-chain order records already submitted to Blockbates.

General information about browser controls is available at aboutcookies.org and allaboutcookies.org.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the Services, the technologies we use, or legal requirements. We will post the revised policy here and update the effective date.
