This document contains information in relation to technologies that enable Cryptosmart (as defined below) to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner (as defined below) to collect and store information (e.g., through the use of cookies) or to use resources (e.g., by running a script) on the user’s device when the user interacts with Cryptosmart’s website and/or smartphoneapplication (the website and app, collectively, the “Platform“).
For the sake of simplicity and clarity of exposition, these technologies are briefly referred to in this document as “tracking tools,” unless there is reason to differentiate between them. By way of example only, although cookies may be used in browsers accessible via computer and/or application for smartphones, it would be inappropriate to speak of cookies in the context of mobile applications, since these are tracking tools that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document the term cookie is used only to refer specifically to the aforementioned specific types of tracking tools.
Some of the purposes for which tracking tools are used may, in addition, require the user’s consent. If consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions described in this document.
Cryptosmart uses tracking tools operated directly by the data controller (commonly referred to as “first party” tracking tools) and tracking tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly referred to as “third party” tracking tools). Except as provided herein, the aforementioned third parties have access to their respective tracking tools.
Duration and expiration of cookies and other tracking tools may vary depending on what is provided by the Data Controller (as defined below) or each third-party provider. Some of them expire at the end of your browsing session within the Platform.
In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories below, you can find more extensive information on duration, as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other tracking tools – in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Controller (as defined below).

Such cookies are used exclusively by Cryptosmart. They are saved on the user’s computer only during the active session of the browser . Essential cookies are used, for example, when opening a connection to the Platform. Such a cookie is also used to store the user’s decision regarding the use of cookies within the Platform. Also included in the scope of technical cookies are those used to statistically analyze access or visits to the Platform, also known as “ analytics “, which pursue statistical purposes only, (but not also marketing or profiling) and collect information in aggregate form without the possibility of tracing the identification of the individual user.
