Cookie Policy
Effective April 21, 2026
DITC LLC operating as DITC.io · www.ditc.io · Version 3.0
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to website operators. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local-storage objects.
2. Who Sets Cookies on This Website?
Cookies on www.ditc.io are set by DITC LLC (‘we’, ‘us’) and by carefully selected third-party service providers (see sections 5 and 6). Non-essential cookies are not placed on your device until you provide consent via our cookie banner. Our banner offers three equally prominent options: Accept all, Reject all, and Manage preferences. You can withdraw or update your choices at any time via the ‘Cookie preferences’ link in the footer.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use

- Storing your cookie-consent choices (this cookie is itself strictly necessary).
Legal basis: strictly-necessary exemption under Article 5(3) ePrivacy Directive (and PECR in the UK). Associated GDPR processing: Art. 6(1)(b) contractual necessity or Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest, as applicable. Retention: up to 1 year.

4. Strictly Necessary Third-Party Infrastructure
Cloudflare provides security, performance, and bot-management services. Cloudflare’s cookies (including __cf_bm and cf_clearance) are strictly necessary for the safe operation of the website and do not require consent.
Legal basis: strictly-necessary exemption. Retention: session to 1 year.
5. Mandatory KYC/AML Backend Processors
The following providers are engaged as mandatory backend data processors for regulatory compliance purposes. They are not cookie providers on the public website but are disclosed here for full transparency. Their processing takes place in the context of account opening and ongoing compliance, not in the browser-cookie environment. Full details are in the Privacy Policy at www.ditc.io/privacy.
| Provider | Role | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Sumsub (sumsub.com) | KYC identity verification, liveness checks, document authentication, biometric processing, ongoing due diligence | Legal obligation (AML/KYC) |
| Chainalysis (chainalysis.com) | Blockchain analytics and crypto transaction monitoring for AML / sanctions screening | Legal obligation (AML/sanctions) |
This list is not exhaustive and may be supplemented or amended as regulatory requirements or operational needs change. Changes will be notified in accordance with section 8 of this Policy.
6. Other Consent-Based Third-Party Cookies
Subject to your consent, the following third-party services may set cookies for analytics and marketing purposes. Each provider is bound by appropriate data-transfer safeguards where applicable:
- Google Analytics (analytics.google.com) – website analytics.
- Google Tag Manager – tag management system.
- Meta Pixel – marketing attribution.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag – B2B marketing analytics.
Transfers of data to these providers are subject to appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms where applicable. Each provider has its own privacy and cookie policy.
7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
- Via our cookie consent banner (shown on your first visit) – click ‘Manage preferences’ to review and update. ‘Reject all’ is available at the first layer with equal visual weight to ‘Accept all’.
- Via the ‘Cookie preferences’ link in the website footer – available at all times after your initial choice. One click to withdraw. We will not re-display the banner for 6 months after a rejection unless you manually reopen it.
- Via your browser settings – you can block or delete cookies in your browser. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair website functionality.
- Via Global Privacy Control (GPC) – if your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out of non-essential tracking and analytics on www.ditc.io.
- Via third-party opt-out tools – e.g. the Google Analytics browser add-on.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on www.ditc.io/cookies with an updated effective date. For significant changes, the cookie banner will be re-displayed to obtain fresh consent where required.
