Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 April 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies BELT Protocol uses on this website, why we use them, and how you can control them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage — browser-based storage that works like cookies but is not transmitted to the server with every request.
2. What We Use
This website uses only strictly necessary browser storage. Specifically:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| belt_cookie_consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent preference so we don’t ask again on every visit. | Persistent (until cleared) |
We do not use analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics), advertising or tracking cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any third-party profiling tools.
3. Why Strictly Necessary?
Strictly necessary cookies/storage are exempt from the consent requirement under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR because they are essential for the website to function. Remembering your consent preference falls into this category — without it, we would have to show the consent banner on every single page visit.
4. Third-Party Infrastructure
Our hosting provider Vercel may set technical cookies for load balancing and security purposes. These are strictly necessary operational cookies and are not used for tracking. Please refer to Vercel’s Privacy Policy for details.
5. How to Control Cookies
You have several options to control browser storage and cookies:
- Browser settings — all modern browsers allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookies and localStorage. Check your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
- Our consent banner — you can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser’s localStorage for this site (or by clearing all site data in your browser settings), which will show the consent banner again on your next visit.
Note: blocking strictly necessary storage may affect website functionality (e.g. the consent banner will reappear on every visit).
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new technologies. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the most recent revision.
