Cookie Policy
Understanding how HalalFi uses cookies to provide you with a secure, personalized experience.
HalalFi uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our Sharia-compliant blockchain platform. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them. We are committed to transparency and minimal data collection in accordance with GDPR, CCPA, and privacy-by-design principles.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, authenticate your session, and provide analytics about how the site is used. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period).

Anonymous Usage Statistics
We use analytics cookies to understand how users interact with our platform. All data is anonymized and not linked to on-chain activity or personal identity.

Blockchain and Privacy Considerations
While cookies help us provide a better user experience, we recognize the unique privacy considerations of blockchain technology:
- No On-Chain Linking: Our analytics cookies are never linked to your on-chain wallet address or blockchain transactions.
- Pseudonymous by Default: We use pseudonymous identifiers that cannot be traced back to your real identity without additional information.
- Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Where possible, we use ZKPs to verify necessary information without storing it in cookies.
- Decentralized Storage: Critical data is stored on-chain or in decentralized systems, not in browser cookies.
How to Control Cookies
You have several options to manage cookies on HalalFi:
In-App Cookie Settings
Use our cookie preference center (accessible via your account settings) to enable or disable non-essential cookies at any time.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect platform functionality.
Third-Party Opt-Out
For analytics cookies, you can opt-out through third-party tools like the Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out pages.
Do Not Track Signals
We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals and will not track users who have enabled DNT in their browser settings.
Third-Party Cookies
HalalFi may use trusted third-party services that set their own cookies. These include:
Analytics Providers
To help us understand platform usage and improve our services (e.g., Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled).
Wallet Providers
To facilitate secure wallet connections (e.g., MetaMask, Phantom, Solflare).
Security Services
To protect against fraud and abuse (e.g., reCAPTCHA for bot prevention).
We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy and security standards. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification 30 days in advance.
