Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
At ripple-castly.com, we believe in being upfront about how our site works. This means talking about cookies and similar tracking tools.
This policy walks you through what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We're dealing with blockchain analytics and machine learning here, so data matters—but so does your choice in how we handle it.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get saved on your device when you visit websites. They help the site remember things about your visit—like your preferences or login status.
There are different types. Some stick around after you close your browser (persistent cookies), while others disappear once you leave (session cookies). Some are set by us directly (first-party), and others come from external services we use (third-party).
Beyond cookies, we might use similar tracking methods like web beacons, pixels, or local storage. They all serve similar purposes: keeping the site functional and helping us understand how people use it.
How We Use These Technologies
We're not trying to be sneaky. Here's exactly what we're doing with cookies and why:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working. Without them, basic functions like secure logins or navigating between pages wouldn't work properly. You can't really opt out of these without breaking the experience.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—language preferences, region settings, or customization options. They make your experience smoother by not forcing you to reset everything each visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to see how visitors interact with our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people drop off? This helps us make informed decisions about what to improve.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different sites to show you relevant content and ads. They help us understand which campaigns bring people to ripple-castly and whether our outreach actually resonates.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're not stuck with our defaults. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete existing ones.
- Open your browser's settings menu—usually found under a gear icon or three-dot menu
- Look for privacy, security, or content settings sections
- Find the cookies or site data management area
- Choose your preference: block all, allow all, or selectively accept based on type
- Save your changes and restart your browser if needed
Just know that blocking certain cookies might affect how the site functions. Essential ones are needed for basic operations, so disabling those could make parts of ripple-castly unusable.

Third-Party Services and Tracking
We work with external services that might place their own cookies on your device. These could include analytics platforms, content delivery networks, or marketing tools.
When you interact with embedded content—like videos, social media widgets, or external forms—those providers might also track your activity. We don't control their cookies or how they use the data they collect.
Here's what that means: If you're visiting ripple-castly and see embedded content from another platform, that platform might be collecting information about your visit. Their privacy policies govern how they handle that data, not ours.
We try to work with reputable partners, but it's worth reviewing their policies directly if you're concerned about specific services.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent ones might stick around for months or even years, depending on their purpose.
We keep cookie data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined here. Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after a certain period. Marketing cookies typically expire after a set timeframe defined by the third-party provider.
You can request information about the data we've collected through cookies. If you want to know what's been stored or request deletion, reach out to us through the contact information below.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Our site evolves. This policy might need updates to reflect those shifts.
When we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top and notify you through a site banner or email if you're subscribed to our updates. For minor adjustments—like fixing typos or clarifying existing practices—we might skip the notification.
Check back periodically if you want to stay informed. We're not going to email you every time we tweak a sentence, but major shifts will get proper announcements.
