Orbitex does not set any cookies for tracking, analytics, advertising or user identification. This page explains the complete cookie situation — which, in our case, is almost nothing.
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They can be used for functional purposes (remembering a language preference) or for tracking purposes (following your behaviour across the web to serve advertising). First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting; third-party cookies are set by external services embedded on that site.
The EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR require that websites obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies. Because Orbitex does not set non-essential cookies, the formal consent requirement does not apply — and we do not show a cookie consent banner.
Orbitex sets zero first-party cookies. We do not write anything to your browser's cookie storage.
There is no login system, no preference persistence, no session management, and no analytics on our end. Your browser's cookie jar is untouched by this site's own code.
Some third-party services we load may set cookies. Here is the complete list:
Google Fonts (theorbitex.com)
Google Fonts loads web font files from fonts.gstatic.com. In most configurations, Google Fonts does not set persistent tracking cookies, but a CONSENT preference cookie may be written depending on browser settings and region. Google's cookie policy governs this. We cannot prevent this behaviour, but we are transparent about it.
deBridge widget (app.theorbitex.com only)
The deBridge widget loaded on the app subdomain may set functional cookies or use localStorage to remember your selected chains, token preferences or wallet connection state between sessions. These are set by deBridge's code, not by Orbitex. Their purpose is functional (improve the UX of the widget) rather than tracking. For details, consult deBridge's cookie policy.
There are no advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, social media trackers, or affiliate cookies on this site.
Below is a summary table of the possible third-party cookies:
| Service | Cookie / Storage | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | CONSENT (possible) | Regional preference | 3rd party |
| deBridge widget | localStorage / session | Widget state, last chain | Functional |
In addition to cookies, browsers have localStorage and sessionStorage — key-value stores that persist data locally without expiry dates (localStorage) or until the tab is closed (sessionStorage).
Orbitex's own code writes nothing to localStorage or sessionStorage. The deBridge widget may use localStorage to remember your last-used chains or connected wallet type, purely to improve usability on your next visit. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to Orbitex.
You can clear this data at any time via your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage → app.theorbitex.com → Clear All).
Cookie consent banners are legally required when a site sets non-essential cookies — cookies that are not strictly necessary for the site to function. Because Orbitex sets no first-party cookies at all, and the only third-party cookies are either incidental to font loading or functional to the deBridge widget (not tracking), we have determined that a consent banner is not required.
We are aware that this is a contested area of law and that some regulators interpret the requirement broadly. If you believe our assessment is incorrect, please contact us — we take compliance seriously and will revisit our position if the situation warrants it.
The absence of a cookie banner is not a shortcut — it reflects that there is genuinely nothing to consent to on our end.
You can control cookies at any time through your browser settings. Here are quick links for the main browsers:
Note that blocking all cookies may prevent the deBridge widget from remembering your preferences between sessions, which is a minor UX inconvenience rather than a functional issue.
If our cookie usage ever changes — for example if we add a new third-party service — we will update this policy and revise the effective date at the top. Given our commitment to a data-free experience, we do not intend to add tracking or advertising cookies under any circumstances.
