In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that data may become personal information if combined with other details.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners widely use cookies to make their websites operate more efficiently and to gather reporting information.
First-party cookies are those set directly by the website owner (in this case, BlockDB).
Third-party cookies are set by third parties and enable third-party features or functionality on or through the website (e.g., advertising, analytics, interactive content). These third parties can recognize your device across various websites.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use both first- and third-party cookies for several reasons:
Essential Cookies: Some cookies are required for technical reasons to ensure our Website functions correctly. These are referred to as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies.

5. Other Tracking Technologies
We may use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphic files containing a unique identifier to recognize when someone visits our Website or opens an email from us. Web beacons help us, for example, to understand user traffic patterns, deliver cookies, improve site performance, and assess the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function, and disabling cookies may impair their performance.
6. Flash Cookies or Local Shared Objects
We may also use Flash Cookies (Local Shared Objects, "LSOs") to collect and store information on your use of our services. These cookies help with fraud prevention and site operations.
If you do not wish to store Flash Cookies on your device, you can control this by adjusting the settings on your Flash Player. For guidance on adjusting settings for Flash Cookies, visit the Adobe Website Storage Settings Panel and the Global Storage Settings Panel.

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
