DiamondSwap collects this information through various means such as “cookies,” “web beacons”, and “IP addresses” as explained below.
Like many companies, DiamondSwap uses “cookies” and “web beacons” (also known as internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our websites. Cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer's hard drive when you visit certain websites. Web beacons allow us to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third-party. DiamondSwap uses the information collected from these technologies to compile reports and help us improve the website.
For example, a cookie might tell us whether you have visited us before, the number of visitors to the website, which site a visitor has come from, the pages they visited, and to help us identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site.
DiamondSwap also collects IP addresses. An IP address is a unique identifier that certain electronic devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet.

DiamondSwap also may use this information to enhance DiamondSwap's websites.
Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all our website features. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal whereby you may indicate your preference regarding tracking and cross-site tracking. Although DiamondSwap does not currently employ technology that recognizes DNT signals, DiamondSwap will only process your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Our websites also use web analysis services such as Google Analytics, in order to better understand your use of our websites and how we can improve them.
