Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information as you navigate our website. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us recognize you and enhance your experience. We (and third parties we work with) may use the following types of cookies:

• Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and Services. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, security, and network management. For example, if we provide a login, a necessary cookie might keep you logged in during your visit. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site might not function then.

• Preference Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, like your selected language or region, so we can provide a more personalized experience. For instance, a preference cookie may recall that you prefer to see prices in a certain currency.

• Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies to collect information about how users interact with our website. For example, we use Google Analytics (or similar tools) which may set cookies to gather anonymized statistics on site usage (such as page views, time on site, referral URLs). This helps us identify trends, understand user needs, and improve our website. The information collected typically does not directly identify you (we do not capture your name or email via analytics cookies), and we aggregate it for analysis. Google Analytics may also use your IP address, but we have options to anonymize it. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing a browser add-on provided by Google, if you wish.

• Marketing Cookies: If we ever run marketing or retargeting campaigns, we (or our advertising partners) might use marketing cookies to track browsing habits and show you relevant advertisements on third-party websites (e.g., ads for CICADA Finance on other sites). As of the Effective Date, we do not share personal information for targeted advertising, and we do not sell personal data, including via cookies (Privacy Policy | Cicada Wallet). If this changes in the future, we will update this Policy and request any necessary consents. In any case, you can generally manage cookies as described below.

Managing Cookies: When you first visit our site, we may display a cookie notice or banner to inform you of our use of cookies. You have the choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to block some or all cookies if you prefer. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that if you disable or delete certain cookies, our website might not function properly, and some features may be unavailable. For example, blocking necessary cookies may prevent you from logging in or using key functions of the Services.

For more detailed information on how to control or opt out of cookies, you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Additionally, some third parties we work with (like Google) provide their own opt-out mechanisms. Our Cookie usage is intended to comply with applicable laws — for instance, under PDPA, cookies used for collecting personal data are considered consented to if you configure your browser to accept them, but we still strive to be transparent and obtain clear consent where appropriate.

Do Not Track: Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals. If we develop in this area, we will update this section.
