The Information We Collect and How We Use/Share It
The below describes what information BlockMint collects or receives about/from Visitors and how such information is used and shared.

Server Log Information
Like most websites today, our web servers keep log files that record information each time a device accesses those servers. Such information typically includes IP addresses, browser type and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, date and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of the Sites Visitors visit, and similar information concerning Visitors’ use of the Sites.
“Cookie” Information
We collect information using “cookie” technology. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s or mobile device’s hard drive (or other storage medium) so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit. We may use both 1st and 3rd-party session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them). These cookies help us collect information regarding your web session to determine, for example, Visitor web traffic patterns, the effectiveness of our Sites’ navigational structure, and to enhance your experience using the Sites. For more information on certain uses of cookies, please see the information regarding analytics and advertising/remarketing providers below.
If you do not want us to place a cookie on your hard drive, you may be able to turn that feature off on your computer or mobile device (or display a warning before cookies are dropped). Please consult your Internet browser’s documentation for information on how to do this and how to delete persistent cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, the Sites may not function as intended.
Third-Party Analytics
We use one or more third–party analytics services to evaluate your use of the Sites and compile reports on activity (based on their collection of IP addresses, Internet service provider, browser type, operating system and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, data and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of the Site you visit, number of links clicked, search terms, and other usage data), and analyze performance metrics. These third parties use cookies to help collect, analyze, and provide us reports and/or information. By accessing and using the Sites, you consent to the processing of information about you by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. For more information on these third parties, including how to opt out from certain information collection, please visit the sites below.
