Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site.

Types of storage we use:

• Cookies: Traditional browser cookies
• LocalStorage: Browser local storage (similar to cookies but with more capacity)
• SessionStorage: Temporary storage cleared when you close the browser

2. How We Use Cookies

Gasless Wallet uses cookies and similar technologies on our website only (not in the browser extension wallet itself). We separate our cookies into two categories:

2.1 Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled:

Cookie Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
gasless_cookie_consent	Essential	Remembers your cookie consent choice (accept/decline)	Persistent (until you clear browser data)

Why essential? This cookie prevents us from showing you the cookie consent banner on every page visit after you've made your choice.

2.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They are only activated if you click "Accept" on the cookie consent banner:

Service	Type	Purpose	Duration
Google Analytics 4	Analytics	Page views and navigation User behavior patterns Traffic sources Device and browser info	Up to 26 months

Cookies used by Google Analytics:

• _ga - Distinguishes unique users
• _ga_* - Maintains session state
• _gid - Distinguishes users (24 hours)

What we learn from analytics:

• Which pages are most popular
• How users navigate through the site
• What browsers and devices people use
• Which features generate the most interest

What analytics cookies DON'T do:

• ❌ Identify you personally
• ❌ Track your wallet activity or transactions
• ❌ Access your private keys or funds
• ❌ Track you across other websites (we don't use cross-site tracking)

3. Browser Extension Storage

The browser extension stores:

• Wallet data: Encrypted seed phrases, private keys, account information
• Preferences: Theme, language, network settings
• Cache: Token prices, transaction history (from blockchain)

Key points:

• This data is stored locally on your device only
• We never have access to this data
• It's not affected by cookie consent choices
• You can delete it by uninstalling the extension

4. Your Cookie Choices

4.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner with two options:

• Accept: Allows both essential and analytics cookies
• Decline: Only essential cookies are used (analytics disabled)

4.2 Changing Your Mind

You can change your cookie preferences at any time:

Option 1: Clear your consent cookie

1. Open your browser's developer console (F12)
2. Type: localStorage.removeItem('gasless_cookie_consent')
3. Refresh the page - the banner will appear again

Option 2: Browser settings

1. Go to your browser's privacy/cookie settings
2. Find "gasless.dev" in the list of sites
3. Clear all cookies for our domain

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies

5. Third-Party Cookies

We only use one third-party service that sets cookies:

• ❌ Retargeting/remarketing cookies
• ❌ Third-party affiliate cookies

6. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. While we respect your privacy, we don't currently respond to DNT signals automatically. Instead:

• We give you clear cookie consent choices via our banner
• You can decline analytics cookies at any time
• You can block cookies entirely via browser settings

7. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookie Type	Duration	Details
Consent Cookie	Persistent	Remains until you clear browser data or revoke consent
Google Analytics	Up to 26 months	Different GA cookies have different expiration times (from 24 hours to 26 months)

8. Cookies and Personal Data

Our cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. They store:

• Random identifiers (like _ga=GA1.2.123456789)
• Simple flags (like gasless_cookie_consent=accepted)
