1. ABOUT THIS POLICY

This Cookie Policy explains how Moongenz uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on moongenz.io (the "Site"). It supplements our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it.

2. WHAT COOKIES ARE

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, web beacons, and software development kits (SDKs).

Cookies may be:

• First-party (set by us) or third-party (set by external providers we integrate);
• Session (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remain for a defined period).

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE USE

3.1 Strictly Necessary

Required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you that amount to a request for services, such as connecting a wallet, submitting a form, or maintaining a session.

• Purpose: session management, security (CSRF protection), wallet connection state, language preference.
• Lifespan: session, or up to 30 days for preferences.
• Legal basis: necessary for performance of contract.

3.2 Functional

Enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences.

• Purpose: remembering chosen payment method, preferred display options.
• Lifespan: up to 12 months.
• Legal basis: consent.

3.3 Analytics and Performance

Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. Aggregated and anonymized where possible.

• Providers: Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, or equivalent.
• Purpose: measuring page views, bounce rate, session duration, traffic sources, conversion rates.
• Lifespan: typically 14 months.
• Legal basis: consent (where required); legitimate interests for purely first-party privacy-respecting analytics.

3.4 Marketing

Used to deliver relevant advertising, measure campaign performance, and limit how often you see an advertisement. May be set by us or by advertising partners.

• Providers: X (Twitter) Pixel, Meta Pixel, Google Ads, or equivalent.
• Purpose: conversion tracking, audience building, retargeting.
• Lifespan: up to 12 months.

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Some pages on the Site embed content or functionality from third parties, which may set their own cookies. Common examples include:

• Wallet connectors: WalletConnect, MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet SDK;
• Payment processor: NOWPayments (on the buy flow only);
• Embedded media: YouTube, X, Telegram, Discord widgets;
• Anti-fraud and bot mitigation: Cloudflare.

These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing them for full information.

5. CONSENT MANAGEMENT

The first time you visit the Site from a jurisdiction requiring consent, we display a cookie banner allowing you to:

• Accept all cookies;
• Reject all non-essential cookies;
• Customize your selection by category.

You can change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link in the footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. MANAGING COOKIES IN YOUR BROWSER

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Instructions:

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

9. EFFECT OF DISABLING COOKIES

Disabling cookies in the categories above may affect Site functionality:

• Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core features (wallet connection, form submissions, session persistence) from working;
• Disabling functional cookies will reset your preferences each visit;
• Disabling analytics cookies has no impact on functionality but limits our ability to improve the Site;
• Disabling marketing cookies may make advertisements less relevant.
