Grove Cookie Policy
Last Updated: October 30, 2026
Grove Foundation, Deodar Grove Inc. and their affiliates (together, "Company," "we," "our") are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and personal information. This Cookie Policy describes how we use cookies and similar technologies on the informational website located at https://grove.finance, which is operated by Grove Foundation (the "Website"), and on the Grove application located at https://app.grove.finance, which is operated by Deodar Grove Inc. (the "App," and together with the Website, the "Sites"). The cookies and similar technologies used on each of the Sites are not the same, and the table below identifies the Site on which each one is used.
This Cookie Policy also applies, where applicable, to Grove Data at https://data.grove.finance. The table below identifies the technologies used on Data.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small, sometimes encrypted text files that are stored on computer hard drives by websites that you visit. They are used to help users navigate websites efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owner of the website. Cookies may be first party, meaning they are operated by the domain of the website you are visiting, or third party, meaning they are operated by a third party's domain.
We also use similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage in your browser (together with cookies, "cookies" in this Cookie Policy).
To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
How do we use cookies?
The Sites use cookies and similar tracking technologies, which may be either:
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a certain period of time (as indicated in the table below) or until you manually delete them or object to them; and
- Session cookies, which expire at the end of the browser session (e.g., when you leave the Site and close your browser).
When you visit the Sites, we may place a "cookie" or other online tracking device (e.g., web beacons) in order to improve your experience, such as helping us understand how users interact with the Sites and improving performance and user experience. The cookies we place may also collect information about your use of the Sites. Our cookies can be classified into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Sites to function and to provide services you request, such as remembering your cookie preferences, connecting your digital wallet and maintaining the security of your session. These cookies do not require your consent and are not affected by your choice in the cookie banner, although you can block them through your browser settings, in which case parts of the Sites may not work.
- Analytics cookies: Used to measure and analyze how visitors interact with the Sites, including distinguishing unique users and maintaining session information. These cookies help us understand site usage and evaluate performance.
- Advertising cookies: Used to track advertising interactions, attribute conversions to specific campaigns, assess the effectiveness of those activities and, in some cases, personalize advertising. On the App, some advertising cookies are used to link interactions with our advertising (including paid media clicks) to on-chain wallet activity.
Analytics cookies and advertising cookies are "non-essential cookies." We only use non-essential cookies where we have your consent (see below). Some of these cookies may be managed by third parties and you should refer to the third parties' own website privacy notifications and policies for further information.
As explained above, cookies may be first party or third party, meaning they are operated by us (first party) or by another party (third party). Please note that interactions with the third-party cookies on the Sites are governed by the privacy and cookies policies of the third party (see below).
Some of the analytics tools we use may operate without setting cookies, for example by collecting aggregated page-view and performance data. Where such tools collect personal information, we describe them in our Privacy Policy.
Managing cookies
On your first visit to each of the Sites, and periodically thereafter, you will see a cookie banner informing you why cookies are used, and asking you to consent to non-essential cookies if you agree with us using them ("Accept"). If you do not agree, you can select "Deny". Non-essential cookies are not set unless and until you accept them.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" floating button at the bottom of each Site, which reopens the cookie banner so that you can accept or deny non-essential cookies. Your preferences are stored in your browser and apply only to the Site, browser and device on which you set them, so you will need to set your preferences separately on the Website and on the App, and on each browser and device you use. Note that you will have to clear cookies on your device to immediately delete them. If you do not delete your cookies via your browser's options (see below) then cookies will continue to operate until the end of their lifespan (see table below).
Global Privacy Control and U.S. privacy choices
The Sites recognize the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a request to reject advertising cookies on that browser, even if you previously accepted them. While the signal is present, advertising cookies stay off on that browser, and selecting "Accept" in the cookie banner will turn on analytics cookies only.
Residents of certain U.S. states may have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, or of processing for targeted advertising, which may include the use of advertising cookies. You can exercise this choice by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" floating button at the bottom of each Site and selecting "Deny", by enabling a GPC signal in your browser, or by emailing legal@grove.finance. For more information, please see the "Additional information for U.S. residents" section of our Privacy Policy.
Cookie preferences
Web browsers often allow you to erase existing cookies from your hard drive, block the use of cookies, and/or be notified when cookies are encountered. If you elect to block cookies, please note that you may not be able to take full advantage of the features and functions of the Sites. Find out how to manage cookies on popular browsers:
To find information relating to other browsers, visit the browser developer's website.
We do not control how third parties use cookies or similar technologies, and their use is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.
Consent
We will obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. You can give or withdraw your consent to our use of these cookies at any time by using the "Cookie Preferences" floating button at the bottom of each Site.
