Personal Information automatically collected

Some information — such as Your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when You visit the Website. Some information — such as Your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — may be collected automatically when You visit the Website. This information does not reveal Your specific identity (like Your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as Your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language
preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of Genesis Digital Assets, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

Log files

The Website follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this, and it is a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the Website, tracking users’ movement on the Website, and gathering demographic information.

Cookies and web beacons policy

What is the “cookies“? Like any other website, this Website uses ‘cookies’. Cookies are small data files that are placed on Your computer or mobile device when You visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

The cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users’ experience by customizing Our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.

Cookies set by a website owner (in this case, Genesis Digital Assets) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than a website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable a third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through a website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize Your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do We use cookies? We may use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and We refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable Us to track and target the interests of Our users. Third parties may serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. 

How can You control cookies on Your browser? As the means by which You can refuse cookies through Your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, You should visit Your browser’s help menu for more information.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons? Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a Website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows Us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within the Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether You have come to the Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do We use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects? We may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs“) to, among other things, collect and store information about a usage of the Website. If You do not want Flash Cookies stored on Your computer, You can adjust the settings of Your Flash player to block Flash Cookies.

Do We serve targeted advertising? Third parties may serve cookies on Your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about Your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that You may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about Your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to You. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify Your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify You unless You choose to provide these.

Advertising Partners privacy policies

Third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that may appear on the Website, which are sent directly to a users’ browser. They may automatically receive Your IP address when this occurs.

Note that the Website has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
