Xapitol Protocol: Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 04/06/2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how XloudOne ("Xapitol," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you access the Xapitol Protocol, the Founder Dashboard, or the Ecosystem Explorer. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make platforms work securely and efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and save user preferences.
3. How We Use Cookies (The Web3 Context)
Because Xapitol operates as a decentralized software interface bridging digital identity (XloudID) with blockchain infrastructure, we use cookies strictly for security, session management, and interface functionality. We never store private keys, seed phrases, or raw biometric data in cookies.
We use the following categories of cookies:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
These cookies are required for the fundamental operation and security of the Xapitol Protocol. The platform cannot function properly without them.
- Wallet Connection State: To remember that your non-custodial wallet (e.g., Phantom) is actively connected to the interface during your session.
- XloudID Authentication: To securely maintain your verified identity session across the platform without requiring you to re-authenticate on every page load.
- Security & System Integrity: To detect malicious activity, prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and enforce hardcoded ecosystem distribution safeguards (e.g., maximum Key supply limits per user).
B. Functionality & Preference Cookies
These cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make to provide a customized, institutional-grade software experience.
- Intelligence Feed Preferences: To remember your toggle settings for specific notifications (e.g., Ecosystem Updates, Technology Discovery, Key Availability Alerts).
- UI Customization: To remember your display preferences, such as maintaining the default dark-mode aesthetic across the dashboard.
C. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Protocol, allowing us to optimize the software interface.
- Interface Interactions: To track which pages are visited most frequently (e.g., specific Verified Startup profiles or Pulse feeds) and to identify UI bottlenecks.
Note: We aggregate this data to improve software routing speeds and do not use it to profile individual user activity for speculative or targeted marketing purposes.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In certain instances, trusted third-party partners may place cookies on your device through the Xapitol platform:
- Identity Verification Partners: Our accredited KYC/KYB providers use secure session cookies to complete the mandatory XloudID verification process.
- RPC Node Providers: Infrastructure providers that connect the web interface to the Solana blockchain may use caching cookies to optimize data retrieval speeds (e.g., loading the automated smart contract state).
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
- Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use Xapitol, but access to secure areas (like the Founder Dashboard) and non-custodial wallet connectivity may be severely degraded or broken.
- Platform Prompts: Upon your first visit to Xapitol, you will be presented with a prompt allowing you to customize your cookie preferences.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our technology, regulatory requirements, or platform operations. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
