1. What is a Cookie? 

Cookies are small text files stored in a computer's browser directory. They help site providers understand how people use a site, remember a user's login details, and store site preferences. DataBlock uses cookies as well as similar technologies (e.g., URL tracking, local storage). For the purpose of this Cookie Policy, such technologies are included in the term ‘cookies’.

• Ensure that our Services function properly,

4. How DataBlock Uses Cookies 

Cookies play an important role in helping us provide effective and safe Services. Below is a description of the commonly used cookie types and their purposes.

Necessary Cookies

Some cookies are essential to the operation of our Site and Services and make it usable and secure by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the Site. We use these cookies in several ways, including:

• Authentication: To remember your login state so you don't have to log in as you navigate through our Site and dashboard.
• Fraud Prevention and Detection: Cookies and similar technologies deployed through our Site help us learn about computers and web browsers used to access the Services. This information helps us monitor for and detect potentially harmful or illegal use of our Services. For example, to process payment transactions for our Users, it is necessary for DataBlock to collect information about the transaction and the Customer. To help secure these transactions and minimize fraud, we collect additional information through the use of cookies and other technologies to identify bad actors and prevent them from making fraudulent transactions. Customers should check our Users' sites for more information about the use of DataBlock cookies for fraud detection.
• Security: To protect user data from unauthorized access.
• Functionality: To keep our Site and Services working correctly, like showing you the right information for your selected location.
