INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy explains how 1StopCrypto ("1StopCrypto," "Company," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you access or use the 1StopCrypto website, applications, browser extensions, software, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our:
- Terms of Service;

- and other legal policies published by the Company.
This Cookie Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy.

browser fingerprinting technologies where legally permitted and reasonably necessary for fraud prevention or security.
For purposes of this Policy, references to "cookies" include these similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

- browser compatibility;

6. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Certain third-party service providers integrated with the Platform may place their own cookies or similar technologies on your device.
Examples may include providers offering:
- website hosting;

The Company does not control cookies placed by independent third-party providers.
Such cookies are governed by the applicable provider's own privacy and cookie policies.
Users should review those policies before interacting with third-party services.
7. LOCAL STORAGE
In addition to cookies, the Platform may use browser local storage or session storage.
Local storage may be used to remember:
- user interface preferences;
- recently selected blockchain networks;
- session state;
- application settings;

Unlike traditional cookies, local storage is managed through your browser rather than through the HTTP cookie mechanism.
Users may clear local storage through their browser settings.
Please note that clearing local storage may affect Platform functionality and user preferences.
8. WALLET CONNECTION TECHNOLOGIES
Because 1StopCrypto is a non-custodial platform, wallet connection technologies may use local browser storage to facilitate secure wallet connectivity.
Such information may include:
- wallet connection state;
- previously authorized wallet sessions;
- preferred wallet provider;
- network selection;
- user interface preferences.
Wallet connection technologies do not provide the Company with access to:
- your Private Keys;
- your Recovery Phrase;
- your seed phrase;
- your wallet password.
The Company does not store these credentials.
9. COOKIE CONSENT
Where required by applicable law, the Company will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device.
The Platform may present a cookie consent banner or preference center allowing you to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies;
- customize cookie preferences;
- review cookie categories;
- withdraw previously granted consent.
Strictly Necessary Cookies are essential to the operation and security of the Platform and generally cannot be disabled through the cookie preference center.
Your cookie preferences will be stored so that your choices may be honored during future visits, subject to applicable legal requirements and browser limitations.
The Company reserves the right to request renewed consent where:
- applicable law changes;
- our cookie practices materially change;

10. MANAGING COOKIES
Most web browsers allow Users to manage cookie settings.
Depending upon your browser, you may be able to:

- disable cookies;
- allow cookies only from selected websites;
- automatically remove cookies when closing the browser;
- review stored cookies.
Browser settings vary depending upon the browser and operating system.
Users should consult the documentation provided by their browser vendor for specific instructions.
Disabling certain cookies may:
- reduce Platform functionality;
- prevent certain features from operating correctly;
- require repeated authentication;
- prevent preferences from being remembered;
- affect wallet connection functionality;
- impact overall user experience.
The Company cannot guarantee full Platform functionality when essential cookies or local storage are disabled.
11. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL (GPC)
Where required by applicable law, the Company will recognize valid Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals as requests to opt out of activities covered by applicable state privacy laws.
As of the Effective Date of this Policy:
- the Company does not sell personal information;
- the Company does not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising;
the Company does not use cookies for targeted advertising as defined by applicable state privacy laws.
Accordingly, receipt of a valid GPC signal generally will not materially change the Company's processing activities.
Should the Company's practices change in the future, GPC signals will be honored where required by applicable law.
12. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS
Some web browsers transmit Do Not Track ("DNT") signals.
Because no universally accepted technical standard currently governs the interpretation of DNT signals, the Platform does not currently respond differently to such signals.
If industry standards or applicable legal requirements evolve, the Company may revise its practices and update this Cookie Policy accordingly.
