What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.
Cookies serve various functions, including:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly
- Performance cookies: Collect information about how visitors use a website
- Functionality cookies: Allow websites to remember choices you make
- Targeting/advertising cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements (not used by DappCDN)
Cookies can be "session cookies" that expire when you close your browser or "persistent cookies" that remain on your device for a longer period.
How DappCDN Uses Cookies
At DappCDN, we use cookies in a very limited way. Our approach prioritizes your privacy while ensuring our platform functions correctly. Here's how we use cookies:
Essential Service Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website cannot function properly without them.
Examples include:
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that allow our systems to recognize your browser during a session
- Security cookies: Used to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of accounts
- Load balancing cookies: Help distribute traffic to make the website more responsive
Cloudflare Cookies
We use Cloudflare as a content delivery network (CDN) and security provider. Cloudflare sets cookies that are essential for security and performance purposes:
- __cf_bm: Used to distinguish between humans and bots
- cf_clearance: Used to identify trusted web traffic
- __cfduid: Used to override security restrictions based on the IP address the visitor is coming from
These cookies do not track users or store personal information. They are used solely to optimize performance and security.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our services and user experience. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous information such as:
- Number of visitors to the site
- Pages visited
- Time spent on the site
- Traffic sources
We have configured our Google Analytics implementation to:
- Anonymize IP addresses
- Disable data sharing with Google
- Respect Do Not Track browser settings
- Set short retention periods for collected data
The information generated by Google Analytics cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
No Tracking or Advertising Cookies
We want to emphasize that DappCDN does not use:
- Tracking cookies: We do not track your browsing activity across other websites
- Advertising cookies: We do not use cookies to build user profiles for advertising
- Third-party marketing cookies: We do not allow third-party marketing companies to place cookies through our site
- Social media cookies: We do not integrate social media cookies that could track your browsing habits
Our commitment is to collect only the minimum data necessary to provide and improve our services.
Your Cookie Choices
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. Here's how you can manage cookies in common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
You can also use browser extensions or plugins for more granular control over cookies.
Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website. In particular, if you block essential cookies, certain features of our site may not work properly.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. DappCDN respects Do Not Track signals, and we do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track browser mechanism is in place.
Changes to Our Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
