This Cookie Policy explains how A.D. Labs LTD (“GeroWallet”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the GeroWallet website at https://gerowallet.io (the “Website”) and within the Gero Dashboard browser extension (the “Extension”). This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners usage information. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage mechanisms such as localStorage and sessionStorage.
2. Cookies Used on Our Website
The GeroWallet website uses a minimal number of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or any form of cross-site tracking.
2.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary
These are required for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences or filling in forms.
| Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sessionStorage | Maintains authentication state for password-protected staging/preview pages (not used in production) | Browser session |
2.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional)
If enabled, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, anonymised form.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors to the site | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state and tracks engagement | 2 years |
Google Analytics is only active when the NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_MEASUREMENT_ID environment variable is configured. You can opt out of Google Analytics at any time by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on or by adjusting your browser cookie settings.
2.3 Third-Party Cookies
The Website loads fonts from Google Fonts. Google may set cookies or use other tracking mechanisms when delivering font files. For details, see Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any other third-party marketing cookies on our Website.
3. Storage Technologies in the Browser Extension
The Gero Dashboard browser extension uses browser storage APIs (not traditional website cookies) to store data locally on your device. These are detailed below:
3.1 Chrome Storage API
The Extension uses chrome.storage.local to persist data within the Extension environment:
| Data | Purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Encrypted wallet data | Store your encrypted private keys and wallet configuration securely on your device | Essential |
| Wallet addresses | Store your public blockchain addresses for display and transaction processing | Essential |
| User preferences | Store your settings such as notification preferences, opt-out choices, and quiet domain lists | Essential |
| Anonymous device ID | A randomly generated identifier for analytics and feature flag evaluation. Not linked to your personal identity. | Analytics |
| Cached token data | Cache token information, price data, and domain lists to improve performance | Performance |
3.2 Cookies Permission in the Extension
The Extension requests the browser “cookies” permission to manage authentication sessions with embedded third-party services (such as Kaiserex for card management) within the Extension interface. This permission is not used to track your browsing activity.
4. How to Manage Cookies
4.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View and delete existing cookies
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
- Set preferences for specific websites
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. For instructions specific to your browser:
4.2 Google Analytics Opt-Out
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
4.3 Extension Data
To clear data stored by the Gero Dashboard extension, you can:
- Uninstall and reinstall the Extension (this will remove all locally stored data, including wallet data — ensure you have backed up your seed phrase first)
- Clear Extension data through your browser's extension management settings
- Use the opt-out feature within the Extension settings to stop analytics data collection without removing other data
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
