What are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Whenever you visit a site, be it Blockdaemon, Google, or another, the site stores a small amount of information on your web browser that enables the site’s owner as well as other third parties to learn unique information about your device, activity, and use of not only the site you’re currently on (with what are known as “session cookies”) but sites you subsequently visit (with what are called “persistent cookies”). Cookies help us enhance your experience using the platform or website and third party retargeting service providers use cookies to serve ads based on a past visit to the platform or website. Below is a list of tracking technologies that Blockdaemon uses and their functions.
