Cookie Policy
Updated: February 19, 2025
At Solana Labs, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and when Solana Labs, Inc. (collectively, “Solana Labs”, “Company”, “we” or “us”) use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites at solanalabs.com, solanamobile.com, and any associated subdomains or websites (collectively “Websites” and “Services”) where this Cookie Policy appears. This notice explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies? Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites function and work more efficiently, as well as to provide analytics and performance information and to enable online advertising. Cookies set by the operator of a website (in this case, Solana Labs) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than Solana Labs are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website (for example, advertising, interactive content, interaction with social media sites, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer or mobile device both when you visit our Websites and when you visit certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies? We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites and Services to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users and to enhance the experience of our Service. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Websites, and the purposes they perform are described below.
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are strictly necessary to provide the Services to you through our Websites. Strictly necessary cookies enable features such as providing you with a unique user session, remembering your preferences, and enabling out online checkout.

Use of Local Storage. Cookies are not the only way to store information on your computer or mobile device. Our Websites store additional information that is essential to the functionality of the Services in local storage. Local storage is similar to the storage of information in cookies, but never expires until our Services delete this information, or you delete it yourself. Please refer to the instructions specific to the type of browser you are using, or the specific mobile phone operating system you are using for instructions on how to delete local storage.
Other tracking technologies. Cookies are not the only way to track visitors to a website. Solana Labs and our third-party partners may use other similar technologies, such as clear image files or Javascript tags (also known as “tracking pixels” and “web beacons”), that contain an identifier that recognizes when a user visits our Websites. This allows our third-party partners to monitor traffic patterns between websites, to enable advertising, to understand if you have come from an advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to monitor the success of marketing campaigns, and to improve site performance. These technologies typically rely on cookies to function, so disabling cookies in your browser will impair their functionality.
How can I control cookies? You have the right to decide whether to allow cookies when using our Websites and Services. Most browsers allow you to control cookies as part of their settings and preferences. Please refer to your specific browser for instructions on how to disable, limit, and delete cookies. The following links are provided for your convenience. Click on the relevant link below to access detailed information regarding cookie settings. Should your browser not be listed here, you should review the help pages for your specific browser to see what features are offered for adjusting your cookie settings:
- Chrome
- Safari
- Microsoft Edge
- Firefox
Please note that if you disable, limit, or delete cookies, our Websites may not function properly, which may prevent you from using our Services.
Updates to this Cookie Policy. Solana Labs may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, therefore, revisit this page to stay informed about our use of cookies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
