Last updated: June 15, 2025 — How Loopring Crypto Exchange uses cookies and your control over them.
Loopring Crypto Exchange ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at andrewsve.click and provides cryptocurrency exchange services to users in Chicago, Illinois, and across the United States. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website.
By continuing to browse our site, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, you can adjust your browser settings or use the opt-out mechanisms described below. However, please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our platform.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about data collection. This policy works alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide a personalized experience. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by external services we use).
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixels. For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies as "cookies" in this policy.
We categorize cookies into four main types based on their purpose. Each category is described below with examples of how we use them on our Loopring exchange platform.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for basic site operation, security, and regulatory compliance. Without these, the platform cannot function properly. | Session tokens, CSRF protection, login state, rate limiting | Session / persistent (up to 24h) |
| Functional | Remember your preferences and choices to enhance your experience. | Language selection, currency display, UI theme, saved filters | Persistent (up to 1 year) |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors interact with our site, measure traffic, and improve performance. | Page views, click tracking, session duration, referral sources | Persistent (up to 2 years) |
| Marketing | Used to deliver relevant advertisements and track campaign effectiveness. May be set by third-party ad networks. | Retargeting pixels, conversion tracking, ad personalization | Persistent (up to 90 days) |
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our cryptocurrency exchange platform. They enable core features such as secure login, transaction verification, and session management. Without these cookies, you would not be able to access your account or execute trades.
These cookies do not require your explicit consent because they are essential for providing the service you request. However, we still inform you about their use. Essential cookies are typically first-party and are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies) or persist for a short duration to maintain security.
Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and customizing the interface. For example, if you prefer to view prices in USD instead of BTC, or if you use dark mode, these cookies save those settings so you don't have to reconfigure them each time you visit.
These cookies are non-essential but improve usability. You may disable them through your browser settings, though some personalized features may not work as intended.
We use analytics cookies to gather aggregated data about how visitors use our platform. This helps us identify which pages are most popular, how users navigate the site, and where we can improve performance. We use this information to optimize the user experience and ensure our services meet your needs.
Analytics data is collected anonymously where possible. We use tools such as Google Analytics and internal logging systems. These cookies do not identify you personally but may collect your IP address (which we anonymize) and browser characteristics.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements. We may partner with third-party ad networks such as Google Ads, Facebook, and Twitter to promote our Loopring exchange services. These cookies remember that you visited our site and may share that information with advertisers to serve you targeted ads.
We also use conversion tracking cookies to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies help us understand which ads lead to registrations, deposits, or trades on our platform.
Marketing cookies require your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by using the opt-out controls below.
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that asks you to accept or customize your cookie preferences. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your settings per category. Your choice is stored in a cookie so we remember it on subsequent visits.
You have the following rights regarding cookies:
You can update your cookie consent at any time. Click the button below to reopen the cookie preferences panel and adjust your settings for essential, functional, analytics, and marketing cookies.
You can control cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely, or to set preferences for specific websites. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features of our Loopring exchange platform, including account login and trade execution.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect cookie data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. This includes encryption of sensitive data in transit and at rest, regular security audits, and access controls for our internal systems.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technology. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website or by sending an email to registered users. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Loopring Crypto ExchangeOur services are primarily directed to users in the United States, particularly Chicago, Illinois. However, if you access our platform from outside the US, please be aware that your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from your jurisdiction. By using our services, you consent to such transfer.
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place through Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.
Our cookie consent platform is designed to comply with global privacy regulations including the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA/CPRA, and LGPD. When you first visit our site, a consent banner appears that allows you to:
Your consent preferences are stored in a first-party cookie named cookie_consent with a duration of 6 months. After this period, you will be prompted again. You can also revoke or change your consent at any time using the "Cookie Settings" button in our footer or the button above.
We record your consent as a legal basis for processing non-essential cookies. Records of consent are retained for 3 years in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, our website does not respond to DNT signals because there is no uniform standard for interpreting them. However, we respect your cookie preferences as expressed through our consent mechanism and browser settings.
We are monitoring developments in DNT standards and will update this policy accordingly when a consistent approach is established.
This Cookie Policy has been drafted to comply with the following regulations applicable to our operations in Chicago, Illinois, and the United States:
We regularly review and update our cookie practices to maintain compliance with evolving legal standards. If you believe we have not adequately addressed your concerns, please contact us immediately.
We provide multiple ways for you to manage your cookie preferences. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you control cookies on our Loopring exchange platform and through your browser.

At Loopring Crypto Exchange, security is paramount. We use essential cookies to protect your account and transactions from unauthorized access, fraud, and cyber threats. These cookies help us detect unusual activity patterns, enforce rate limits on API calls, and maintain session integrity during trades.
For example, our csrf_token cookie prevents cross-site request forgery attacks, ensuring that only you can initiate transactions from your authenticated session. The rate_limit_key cookie helps prevent brute-force attacks by limiting the number of requests from a single IP address within a short timeframe. These security measures are critical for maintaining trust in our platform and complying with financial services regulations in Illinois and the United States.
We also use analytics cookies to monitor for suspicious behavior at an aggregate level, such as sudden spikes in login attempts or unusual traffic patterns. This data helps our security team respond quickly to potential threats while preserving user privacy through anonymization.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), provide you with specific rights regarding your personal information, including data collected via cookies:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] or call +1 312 847 2935. We will verify your identity before processing your request and respond within 45 days (extendable by an additional 45 days with notice). You may also designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf.
We do not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. We will not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of quality based on your privacy choices.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR provide you with additional rights regarding your personal data collected through cookies:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month (extendable by two months for complex requests). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, such as the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK or the relevant authority in your EEA member state.
Our cookie consent solution is built using a lightweight JavaScript library that operates without external dependencies. When you first visit our site, the consent banner appears as a fixed overlay at the bottom of the screen. It includes three primary actions:
The consent banner also includes a link to this Cookie Policy for further reading. Once you make a choice, the banner disappears and your preference is stored in the cookie_consent cookie. On subsequent visits, the banner will not reappear unless your consent expires (after 6 months) or if we make material changes to our cookie practices that require renewed consent.
We use a "implied consent" model for essential cookies only. For all other categories, we require explicit opt-in consent before setting those cookies. Our system blocks non-essential cookies until you provide affirmative consent. This approach complies with the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR requirements for prior consent.
We regularly review our use of cookies to ensure alignment with evolving business needs, technological advancements, and legal requirements. When we add new cookies or change the purpose of existing ones, we update this policy and, where required, seek fresh consent from users.
Examples of circumstances that may lead to changes include:
We maintain a change log for this policy. Significant updates are communicated via a banner notice on our website or email notification to registered users. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
If you reject all non-essential cookies, only essential cookies will be active. You can still browse our website, access your account, and execute trades. However, some personalized features like language preferences, saved dashboard layouts, and targeted advertisements will not function. Analytics will be limited, which may affect our ability to improve the platform based on usage patterns.
Yes, absolutely. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button in the footer of any page on our website. This will reopen the consent panel where you can modify your selections. Alternatively, you can clear your browser cookies, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
We share cookie data with third-party service providers for analytics and marketing purposes, as described in the "Third-Party Cookies and Services" section. These providers are contractually obligated to use the data only for specified purposes and to comply with applicable data protection laws. We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration, but we may share data for cross-context behavioral advertising, which is treated as a "sale" under CCPA/CPRA.
Cookie data retention periods vary by cookie type and are specified in the tables above. Generally, session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may last from 15 minutes to 2 years. Aggregated analytics data may be retained for up to 24 months for reporting purposes. Individual-level data is deleted or anonymized after the retention period ends.
Our cookie consent system is implemented using a combination of JavaScript and server-side logic. When you submit your preferences, the system stores a signed cookie that encodes your choices for each category. This signature prevents tampering and ensures that your preferences are respected across all pages of our site.
The technical flow works as follows:
We use a "blocking" approach for non-essential scripts. This means that no analytics or marketing code executes until your explicit consent is recorded. This method ensures full compliance with GDPR's requirement for prior consent and ePrivacy Directive's cookie rules. Our implementation has been audited by a third-party privacy consultant and meets the standards recommended by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
Different services within our Loopring exchange platform may use cookies for specific purposes. Below we detail cookie usage for key features:
When you create an account or log in, we set essential session cookies to authenticate your identity and maintain your session securely. We also use functional cookies to remember your login preferences, such as whether you want to stay logged in on trusted devices. These cookies are essential for account security and cannot be disabled without affecting functionality.
During trading activities, we use cookies to track your session state, prevent duplicate order submissions, and maintain real-time order book updates. These are essential for the correct functioning of the exchange. We may also use analytics cookies to understand trading interface usage patterns and improve the user experience, but only with your consent.
Our wallet management features use cookies to cache wallet addresses, transaction histories, and balance information for faster loading. Functional cookies remember your preferred wallet view (e.g., list vs. grid). Security-related cookies ensure that only authorized devices can initiate withdrawals or transfers.
Our live chat support feature may use functional cookies to maintain conversation continuity across pages. If you engage with our support team, we may store a session cookie that allows the chat interface to remember your messages if you navigate to a different page. This improves the support experience and is considered a functional cookie.
We are committed to making our cookie preference controls accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our consent banner and preference panel are fully navigable via keyboard, support screen readers, and meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Key accessibility features include:
If you encounter any accessibility barriers when managing your cookie preferences, please contact us at [email protected] and we will work to address your concerns promptly. We continuously improve our accessibility practices based on user feedback and evolving standards.
We take our cookie compliance obligations seriously. Non-compliance with cookie regulations can result in significant penalties, including fines from regulatory authorities such as the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), or European data protection authorities. For example, under GDPR, fines can reach up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 million, whichever is greater.
To mitigate these risks, we have implemented the following measures:
Our compliance program is overseen by our Data Protection Officer (DPO), who reports directly to senior management. We believe in proactive compliance rather than reactive remediation, and we strive to exceed minimum legal requirements where possible.
We engage with various third-party data processors who may set cookies or access cookie data as part of their services. Each processor is contractually obligated to comply with our data protection requirements and applicable laws. Below is a list of our primary data processors that interact with cookies on our platform:
For each processor, we have executed Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where required for international data transfers. We conduct due diligence before onboarding new processors and periodically review their compliance posture.
We maintain detailed logs of cookie consent actions for regulatory compliance and audit purposes. Each time you interact with our cookie consent banner, we record the following information:
These logs are stored securely for a period of 3 years, as required by the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive. After this period, they are permanently deleted. We do not use consent logs for any purpose other than demonstrating compliance with consent requirements. You can request access to your consent records by contacting our DPO at [email protected].
Our recordkeeping system has been designed to meet the standards of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) Guidelines 05/2020 on consent under GDPR, which require controllers to demonstrate that consent was freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.
When you use our Loopring exchange platform from outside the United States, cookie data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where our servers and primary data centers are located. For users in the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland, we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place for such transfers:
We review our transfer mechanisms annually and update them as regulatory guidance evolves. If you have questions about the safeguards applied to your cookie data, please contact us.
We do not use cookie data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significant impacts. However, we may use analytics and marketing cookie data for profiling purposes, such as:
These profiling activities are based on your explicit consent (for non-essential cookies) or our legitimate interests (for essential analytics). You have the right to object to profiling based on legitimate interests at any time. Profiling decisions are not used to deny services, adjust pricing, or restrict access to any features of our platform.
If you believe profiling based on cookie data has negatively affected you, please contact us and we will review our practices.
In addition to our cookie consent mechanism, you can use browser-based privacy tools to control how cookies are handled. These include:
Using these tools in combination with our cookie consent system provides the highest level of privacy protection. However, we recommend keeping essential cookies enabled to ensure full functionality of our exchange platform.
If you have unresolved concerns about our cookie practices or wish to exercise your data protection rights, you may contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) directly. The DPO oversees our compliance with global privacy regulations and ensures that your rights are respected.
DPO Contact Information:
Our DPO aims to respond to all inquiries within 15 business days. For complex requests, we may extend this period by an additional 15 days with notice. If you are unsatisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. For US users, this may include the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or your state attorney general's office. For California residents, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) can be reached at cppa.ca.gov.

This Cookie Policy is part of our broader commitment to transparency and user control. We encourage you to review it alongside our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Disclaimer for a complete understanding of how we handle your data and manage your experience on our platform.
