1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use local storage and session storage in your browser for similar purposes — for example, remembering your cookie consent choice or chat UX preferences.

This policy explains what we use on blockintelligence.io and how you can control optional cookies.

2. Essential cookies & storage

These are required for basic site operation. They cannot be disabled via our banner because the site needs them to function.
