1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — including your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website or use an online platform. These files are stored in your browser and allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and deliver a more personalized and efficient experience.

Cookies are widely used across the internet by virtually all major websites and online services. They serve a variety of purposes, ranging from essential technical functions that keep a platform operational, to analytical tools that help website owners understand how their services are used, to marketing technologies that deliver personalized content and advertising.

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot be used to access other files on your device. They are not inherently harmful. However, Fish DAO is committed to ensuring that all cookies deployed on our platform are used responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.


2. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, Fish DAO may use other tracking and storage technologies that function in a similar way. These include:

2.1 Web Beacons (Pixel Tags)
Web beacons are small, invisible image files embedded in web pages or emails. When your browser loads a page or email containing a web beacon, it sends a request to our servers, which allows us to record that the page or email was viewed. Web beacons are typically used in conjunction with cookies to track user activity and measure the effectiveness of communications.

2.2 Local Storage
Local storage is a browser-based technology that allows websites to store data on your device in a more persistent way than standard cookies. Fish DAO may use local storage to save user preferences, session data, and other information that improves platform performance and personalization.

2.3 Session Storage
Session storage works similarly to local storage but stores data only for the duration of a single browser session. Once you close your browser tab or window, all session storage data is automatically cleared. Fish DAO uses session storage to maintain continuity during your active platform session.

2.4 Device Fingerprinting
In certain circumstances, Fish DAO may collect technical information about your device — such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, installed fonts, and other device characteristics — to create a unique device identifier. This technology is used primarily for fraud detection and security purposes to identify suspicious login attempts or unauthorized account access.

2.5 Third-Party Tracking Technologies
Some cookies and tracking technologies on the Fish DAO platform are deployed by third-party service providers, including analytics platforms and security tools. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by data processing agreements with Fish DAO.


3. Types of Cookies We Use

Fish DAO uses cookies for four primary purposes. Each category serves a distinct function, and we are transparent about which cookies fall into each category:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Fish DAO platform to function correctly. Without them, core features — including account login, session management, security verification, and navigation — would not work. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools, as doing so would prevent the platform from operating.

Examples of what strictly necessary cookies enable:

— Maintaining your authenticated session after login
— Storing your two-factor authentication (2FA) verification status
— Enabling secure transmission of data between your browser and our servers
— Preventing cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
— Load balancing traffic across our server infrastructure
— Remembering items in your account dashboard during a session

Retention period: Session duration or up to 24 hours for security tokens.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance cookies collect anonymous or pseudonymous data about how users interact with the Fish DAO platform. This information helps us understand which pages are most visited, how users navigate through the platform, where errors occur, and how long users spend on different sections. We use this data to continuously improve platform performance, usability, and reliability.

These cookies do not collect information that identifies you personally. All data collected through performance cookies is aggregated and analyzed at a statistical level.

Examples of what performance cookies track:

— Pages visited and time spent on each page
— Referring websites or traffic sources
— Browser type, device type, and operating system
— Error messages and technical issues encountered
— Click patterns and navigation paths through the platform
— Platform load times and performance metrics

Retention period: Up to 12 months.

3.3 Functional and Preference Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Fish DAO platform to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies enable the platform to remember your preferences between sessions, so you do not need to reconfigure settings every time you log in.

Examples of what functional cookies remember:

— Your preferred language and regional settings
— Display preferences such as dashboard layout or theme
— Whether you have previously acknowledged certain notifications or banners
— Your time zone settings for displaying transaction timestamps
— Accessibility preferences that improve your experience on the platform

Functional cookies are optional. Disabling them may reduce the personalization of your experience but will not prevent you from using core platform features.

Retention period: Up to 12 months, or until manually cleared.

3.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and communications that are relevant to your interests. These cookies track your online activity across Fish DAO and, where applicable, across third-party websites that use compatible tracking technologies. They enable Fish DAO and its marketing partners to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, limit how often you see the same advertisement, and tailor content to your interests.

Marketing cookies are only deployed with your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time through our cookie management tool or by adjusting your browser settings.

Examples of what marketing cookies enable:

— Delivering personalized promotional content on the Fish DAO platform
— Measuring the reach and effectiveness of Fish DAO marketing campaigns
— Retargeting users who have previously visited the platform
— Limiting the frequency of promotional messages shown to individual users
— Sharing anonymized audience data with trusted advertising partners

Retention period: Up to 90 days, subject to your consent preferences.


4. Cookies Set by Third Parties

Some cookies on the Fish DAO platform are set by third-party service providers that we work with to deliver our services. These third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective providers. Fish DAO carefully selects all third-party partners and requires them to operate in compliance with applicable data protection standards.

Categories of third-party cookie providers we may use include:

4.1 Analytics Providers
We use analytics tools to collect aggregated data about platform usage and performance. Analytics cookies set by these providers help us understand user behavior and improve our services. These providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies and our data processing agreements.

4.2 Security and Fraud Prevention Providers
Fish DAO uses third-party security services to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, bot access, and unauthorized account activity. These providers may set cookies or use device fingerprinting to identify suspicious behavior patterns.

4.3 Payment Processing Providers
Our verified payment partners may set cookies during the deposit and withdrawal process to facilitate secure transaction processing, prevent fraud, and comply with payment industry standards. These cookies are strictly necessary for completing financial transactions.

4.4 Customer Support Tools
Our live chat and customer support infrastructure may use cookies to maintain continuity of support sessions, record interaction history, and improve response quality. These cookies are active only during support interactions.

Fish DAO does not control the cookies set by third-party providers beyond what is specified in our data processing agreements. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these providers directly for full details on their data practices.


5. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies can be classified by their retention period into two main types:

5.1 Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary files that exist only for the duration of your active browser session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser or log out of your account. Fish DAO uses session cookies primarily for authentication, security token management, and maintaining continuity during your active platform session.

5.2 Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser session ends and are reactivated the next time you visit the Fish DAO platform. They have a defined expiry date, after which they are automatically deleted. Fish DAO uses persistent cookies for preference storage, analytics tracking, and, where consented, marketing purposes.

The specific retention periods for each cookie category are as follows:

— Strictly necessary cookies: Session duration to 24 hours
— Performance and analytics cookies: Up to 12 months
— Functional and preference cookies: Up to 12 months
— Marketing and targeting cookies: Up to 90 days
— Security and fraud prevention cookies: Up to 30 days
— Third-party payment cookies: Session duration only


6. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Fish DAO processes data collected through cookies on the following legal grounds:

Consent: For all non-essential cookies — including performance, functional, and marketing cookies — Fish DAO relies on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. You provide this consent through our cookie consent banner when you first visit the platform. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Legitimate interests: For strictly necessary cookies and security-related tracking technologies, Fish DAO relies on its legitimate interests in maintaining platform security, preventing fraud, and ensuring the technical functionality of its services. These interests are balanced against your rights and do not override them.

Contractual necessity: Certain cookies are required to fulfill our contractual obligations to you as a registered user, including maintaining your authenticated session and enabling withdrawal and deposit processing.

Legal compliance: Some data collected through cookies may be retained to fulfill Fish DAO's obligations under applicable financial regulations, AML laws, and regulatory reporting requirements.


7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Fish DAO provides multiple options for managing your cookie preferences. You are in control of which non-essential cookies are active on your device.

7.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit the Fish DAO platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. Your choices are saved and applied to all subsequent visits until you change them.

7.2 Cookie Settings Panel
You can review and update your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the Cookie Settings panel available in the footer of the Fish DAO website and within your account settings. Changes to your preferences take effect immediately.

— View all cookies currently stored on your device
— Delete individual cookies or clear all cookies
— Block all cookies from all websites
— Block cookies from specific websites
— Set preferences for handling third-party cookies
— Receive notifications before cookies are set

Please note that blocking all cookies through your browser settings will prevent strictly necessary cookies from functioning, which may significantly impair or entirely prevent your ability to log in to and use the Fish DAO platform.

Browser-specific cookie management instructions are available at the following resources:

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

7.4 Opt-Out of Analytics Tracking
If you wish to opt out of analytics tracking specifically, you may do so through our Cookie Settings panel or by installing opt-out browser extensions provided by analytics service providers. Opting out of analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use the platform.

7.5 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your activity not be tracked. Fish DAO acknowledges DNT signals and will limit non-essential tracking for users with DNT enabled, except where tracking is strictly necessary for platform security and functionality.


8. Cookies and Your Privacy

Fish DAO treats all data collected through cookies as personal data where it can be used to identify you directly or indirectly. Such data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.

Key principles that govern our use of cookie data:

— We collect only the minimum data necessary for each cookie's stated purpose
— We do not sell cookie data to third parties for commercial purposes
— We do not use cookie data to make automated decisions that significantly affect you without human oversight
— We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect cookie data from unauthorized access

For full details on how Fish DAO handles your personal data beyond cookies, please refer to our Privacy Policy.


9. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of the third-party service providers that set cookies on the Fish DAO platform may be located in countries outside of your country of residence, including outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Where data collected through cookies is transferred internationally, Fish DAO ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place — such as standard contractual clauses approved by relevant data protection authorities — to protect your data in accordance with applicable law.


10. Children and Cookies

The Fish DAO platform is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect data from minors. If we become aware that cookies have been used to collect data from a person under the age of 18, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and prevent further collection.

We also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page whenever the policy is revised. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
