This Cookie Policy explains how RiseChain Ventures LLC ("RiseChain Ventures," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at rise-chain.org (the "Site"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information about how a website is being used. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, RiseChain Ventures) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies."
Cookies can be "persistent" (they remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them) or "session cookies" (they are deleted automatically when you close your browser). Both types may be used on our Site.
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:
We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes that fall into the following categories:
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as navigation between pages and form submission, cannot be provided. These cookies do not track your browsing activity across other websites and do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for the session.
Examples of strictly necessary cookies on our Site:
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may be used to remember your preferred language, region, or other settings that affect how the Site is displayed or functions. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites. The information these cookies collect is typically anonymized.
Examples of functional cookies we may use:
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site — for example, which pages visitors go to most often and whether they receive error messages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify individual visitors. We use this information to improve how our Site works and to understand which content is most valuable to our audience.
Analytics tools we may use:
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies to track your browsing behavior across other websites or to deliver targeted advertising. Our Site is primarily informational, and we do not engage in cross-site behavioral advertising. If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and provide appropriate notice.
In addition to the cookies we set directly, certain third-party services that we have integrated into our Site may also set cookies on your device. These third parties include analytics providers and content delivery services. Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of the respective third parties, and we do not control their use of cookies or the information they collect.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party partners we work with maintain appropriate data protection standards and comply with applicable privacy laws. However, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you encounter through our Site.
The duration for which a cookie remains on your device varies depending on its type and purpose:
You have several options for controlling cookies used on our Site. Please note that restricting certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
When you first visit our Site, we display a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in a cookie so we can remember your preference on future visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
For instructions on managing cookies in common browsers, refer to your browser's help documentation. Note that blocking all cookies will affect your experience on this and other websites, as some features require cookies to function.
You may opt out of certain third-party analytics cookies by using the opt-out mechanisms provided by those services. For example, Google Analytics offers an opt-out browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also use industry opt-out tools to control interest-based advertising more broadly.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals in a standardized way, as there is no agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We will reassess this position if a common standard is established. In the meantime, you can use the cookie controls described in Section 5 above to manage your tracking preferences.
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies and tracking technologies we use, changes in applicable laws or regulations, or improvements to our practices. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we make changes. We encourage you to check this page periodically for the most current information about our cookie practices.
If you have questions or concerns about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, please contact us through our contact page. You can also find more information about how we handle your personal information generally in our Privacy Policy.
