This Cookies Policy explains how Epic (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies, local storage, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at epicchain.io and use our interactive web applications, referral programs, and tools (collectively, the “Services”).
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which details how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Web Storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device by a web server when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and deliver a personalized online experience.
In addition to cookies, we utilize Local Web Storage (such as localStorage and sessionStorage), which operates similarly to cookies by storing data locally within your browser. Local Web Storage allows higher storage capacity and enables smooth client-side performance, such as saving referral codes and tool settings without transmitting unnecessary data on every HTTP request.
2. Security and Data Protection Standards
We adhere to strict data minimization and security standards across all local browser storage:
- No Sensitive Credentials: Storage items used by Epic (such as referral tracking tokens) contain strictly public, non-sensitive alphanumeric identifiers. We never store private cryptographic keys, account passwords, or personal payment details in unencrypted local browser storage.
- Server-Side Validation: All promotional incentives, referral credits, and user sessions initiated via browser storage are subject to independent server-side verification to safeguard system integrity.
3. Categories of Technologies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies and storage technologies across our Services:
a) Strictly Necessary & Essential Storage
These storage items are essential for the operation of our Services. They enable core functions such as page navigation, referral attribution, security validation, and access to protected features. Without these technologies, key features of our website cannot function properly.
b) Performance & Analytics Technologies
These technologies collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors interact with our website. They help us understand which pages are visited most frequently, identify technical errors, and optimize loading speeds and user flows.
c) Functional & Preference Storage
These technologies allow our web applications to remember choices you make (such as custom color selections in our meme generator tool or active referral promotional values) to provide enhanced, personalized functionality.
d) Social Media & External Media Embeds
Our website incorporates social media features (such as X/Twitter share buttons and embedded media). These third-party services may set their own cookies or storage objects to track your interactions with shared content, governed by their respective privacy policies.
4. Key Cookies & Local Storage Items
| Name / Key | Type | Duration | Purpose & Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| referralCode | localStorage | Persistent | Stores your active referral code to apply promotional gift credits (e.g., $25 travel credit) and attribute rewards upon subscription. |
| session_state | Cookie / Storage | Session | Maintains secure API requests, navigation state, and user session authorization. |
5. Referral & Affiliate Program Integrity
Referral codes stored in local browser storage (referralCode) are used solely for authentic user attribution and promotional gift eligibility.
To preserve affiliate program fairness and prevent fraud, all referral conversions are monitored by server-side anti-abuse algorithms. Automated referral manipulation, cookie stuffing, self-referrals, or attempting to tamper with browser storage to duplicate promotional rewards violate Epic's Terms of Service and will result in the immediate revocation of referral credits and potential account suspension.
6. How to Manage and Control Cookies
You have the right to accept, decline, or clear cookies and local storage items at any time. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings to block or delete them:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Prevent cross-site tracking / Block all cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Please note that blocking essential cookies or local storage items (such as clearing your browser’s localStorage) may impact your ability to receive referral rewards or use certain interactive tools on our website.

7. Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operational practices, legal requirements, or technological updates. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
