Understanding how SignalChainNet uses tracking technologies
Last updated: January 2025
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on signalchainnet.com to make your browsing experience better and to understand how you interact with our site. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
By continuing to use our website, you're agreeing to our use of cookies as described here. But don't worry—you have control over most of these technologies through your browser settings.
Quick summary: Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. Some are essential for the site to work properly, while others help us improve our services and understand user behavior.
What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?
Think of cookies as digital bookmarks. When you visit signalchainnet.com, our server sends a small file to your browser. This file contains information that gets read when you return to our site—things like your language preference or items you viewed.
These files don't contain personal information like your name or email address on their own. Instead, they hold unique identifiers that help our systems recognize your browser across different sessions.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
1 Essential Cookies
These are required for our website to function properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages, submit forms, or access secure areas of the site. We can't turn these off because they're fundamental to how signalchainnet.com operates.
What they do:
- Keep you logged in during your session
- Remember form data as you move between pages
- Enable secure connections for data transmission
- Load balance traffic across our servers
2 Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering choices you make. They're not strictly necessary, but they make using our site much more convenient. You can disable these through your browser settings, though some features may not work as smoothly.
What they remember:
- Your language and region preferences
- Whether you've dismissed notifications or banners
- Custom display settings you've chosen
- Previous search queries and filters
3 Performance Cookies
We use these to collect information about how visitors use signalchainnet.com. All data is aggregated and anonymous—we can't identify individual users. This helps us figure out which pages are most popular and where people encounter problems.
Information collected:
- Pages visited and time spent on each
- Links clicked and navigation patterns
- Error messages encountered
- Browser type and device information
4 Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests. We use them to show you relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. Third parties may also place these cookies when you visit our site.
How they're used:
- Show content related to your interests
- Limit how many times you see an advertisement
- Measure campaign performance
- Share information with advertising partners

Common Questions About Cookie Management
You can use the site with only essential cookies enabled. Some features might not work perfectly, but you'll still be able to browse content and access basic functionality. Think of it like using a car without the radio—you'll get where you're going, just with fewer conveniences.
The site will work normally for you. We just won't be able to see how people are using different features, which makes it harder for us to identify issues or improve the experience over time. Your browsing remains private, but we lose valuable feedback.
You'll still see the same amount of content and messaging, but it won't be tailored to your specific interests. Instead of seeing information about topics you've shown interest in, you'll get more generic content. The site experience itself remains unchanged.
Not really. Cookies are tiny text files that take up minimal space and don't execute code on your device. Hundreds of cookies typically use less storage than a single photo. Modern browsers handle them efficiently without impacting performance.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser Settings
Every modern browser lets you control cookies through its settings menu. You can block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies from your device. The specific steps vary by browser, but the option is always there.
- Chrome Settings
- Firefox Options
- Safari Preferences
- Edge Settings
- Opera Preferences
Mobile Device Controls
On smartphones and tablets, cookie settings are usually found in your browser app's menu or in your device's main settings under "Privacy" or "Safari" (for iOS). The process is straightforward, though the exact location depends on your operating system.
Third-Party Opt-Outs
For advertising cookies placed by other companies, you may need to visit their websites directly to opt out. Many advertising networks participate in industry self-regulation programs that offer centralized opt-out tools.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers let you send a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. While we respect user privacy, there's no universal agreement on how to interpret these signals, so we currently don't respond to them differently than regular traffic.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Session Cookies
These expire when you close your browser. They're temporary and disappear automatically once your browsing session ends. We use these primarily for essential functionality like keeping you logged in.
Short-Term Cookies (1-30 days)
These remember your preferences for a limited time. Good for things like language settings or notification dismissals that should persist across a few visits but don't need to be permanent.
Long-Term Cookies (1-24 months)
Used mainly for analytics and marketing purposes. These help us understand long-term patterns in how people use our site and allow for more relevant content delivery over extended periods.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this policy periodically as our use of cookies evolves or when regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and may notify active users through our normal communication channels.
The mobile app performance optimization landscape changes rapidly, and so do the technologies we use to serve our clients effectively. We'll always be transparent about what tracking technologies we're using and why.
