1. Introduction
Sonrails (“Sonrails,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides software infrastructure, APIs, hosted checkout solutions, dashboards, and digital payment integration tools that enable businesses to incorporate cryptocurrency payment functionality into their websites, applications, and business systems.
Our technology is designed to facilitate transactions that settle directly to merchant-designated cryptocurrency wallets. Sonrails does not intend to hold funds on behalf of merchants as part of this technology model.
This Cookie Policy explains how Sonrails uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, access our platform, use our dashboards, or interact with our digital services.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They help websites operate correctly, remember preferences, maintain secure sessions, and understand how visitors interact with online services.
We may also use similar technologies, including:
- Local storage: Allows certain information to be stored in your browser.
- Session identifiers: Help maintain secure and consistent sessions while you use our platform.
- Pixels and tags: May help measure website performance or the effectiveness of communications.
- Log files and related technologies: Record technical information about requests, errors, security events, and system performance.
For simplicity, this policy refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies” unless a distinction is necessary.

Depending on the services you use and your cookie preferences, we may use cookies to:

4. Types of Cookies We May Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation, security, and basic functionality of our website or platform.
They may support authentication, secure sessions, access controls, fraud prevention, and other essential technical functions.
Where permitted by applicable law, strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent. Disabling them may prevent certain parts of our website or platform from functioning correctly.
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies help our website and platform remember choices you make and provide a more consistent user experience.
Depending on available features, they may remember language preferences, display settings, or other user-selected options.
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will obtain consent when required by applicable law.
4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website and how our digital services perform.
They may collect information about pages visited, time spent on pages, navigation patterns, browser type, device information, referral sources, and interactions with website features.
We may use this information to improve usability, identify technical issues, evaluate performance, and guide product development.
Where required by law, analytics cookies will only be placed after you provide the necessary consent.
4.4 Security and Fraud Prevention Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to identify unusual activity, protect accounts, detect automated abuse, investigate errors, and maintain the integrity of our systems.
These technologies support the security of our software infrastructure. Their use does not, by itself, mean that Sonrails takes custody of or controls a merchant’s cryptocurrency or wallet.
4.5 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
If Sonrails uses advertising, retargeting, or marketing technologies, these may help us measure campaign effectiveness or provide relevant information about our services.
Such technologies will be used only where applicable and permitted by law, including obtaining consent where required.
If we do not use advertising or marketing cookies, this category will not apply to our website.
5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
5.1 First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are placed by Sonrails or through our website and platform infrastructure. They may support essential functionality, security, user preferences, and performance measurement.
5.2 Third-Party Cookies
Certain services integrated into our website or platform may place or access cookies through their own technologies. These services may include hosting providers, analytics services, security providers, customer support tools, or other technology partners.
Third-party cookies may be subject to the relevant provider’s privacy and cookie policies, as well as our contractual arrangements and applicable law.
We aim to use service providers whose practices are appropriate for the services they deliver. You should review the policies of relevant third-party providers where appropriate.
6. Cookies and Sonrails Technology Infrastructure
Sonrails provides software infrastructure that enables merchants to integrate cryptocurrency payment functionality into their websites, applications, and business systems.
Our technology is designed to facilitate transactions that settle directly to merchant-designated cryptocurrency wallets. Sonrails does not intend to hold funds on behalf of merchants as part of this technology model.
Cookies and similar technologies may support the operation of our website, merchant dashboards, authentication systems, security controls, integration functionality, technical diagnostics, and service performance.
Cookies are not a mechanism for storing or transferring cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency transactions take place through the relevant blockchain networks, wallet software, and integrated technology components.
However, cookie identifiers and related technical information may be associated with user accounts, transaction interfaces, or other information that could identify an individual. Such information may therefore be subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
7. Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the technologies enabled and the services you use, we may collect or derive the following information:
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- IP address or approximate location derived from it.
- Session identifiers and authentication status.
- Pages visited and website navigation activity.
- Language and other user preferences.
- Referral sources and interactions with website features.
- Error reports, performance metrics, and security-related events.
- Cookie consent preferences and records of your choices.
We aim to limit cookie-related collection to information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
Users should never submit private keys, seed phrases, wallet recovery phrases, or other sensitive wallet credentials through our website, cookie tools, support forms, or other communication channels.
8. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Our use of cookies depends on their purpose, the type of information involved, and the laws applicable to the relevant user and service.
Where required, we obtain your consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where applicable law permits, including when they are required to provide a service you have requested or maintain essential security and functionality.
Where applicable, our processing of cookie-related information may also rely on other lawful grounds, such as performing a contract, complying with legal obligations, or pursuing legitimate interests, subject to applicable legal requirements.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie preference controls available on our website, where provided.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie notice or preference tool that allows you to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies.
Where applicable, you may be able to:
- Accept all available cookie categories.
- Reject non-essential cookies.
- Enable or disable optional categories individually.
- Review or change your choices later.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they support essential website or platform functionality.
If our website provides a cookie settings link or preference control, you can use it to revisit your choices. If no such control is available, you may contact us using the details in Section 17.
We will implement consent and preference controls in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
10. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, block, or restrict cookies through their settings.
You may be able to configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set or to reject certain types of cookies.
Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and platform. You may be unable to log in, maintain a secure session, save preferences, or use certain features.
Browser controls do not always provide the same level of choice as a website’s cookie preference tool. Deleting cookies may also not automatically withdraw consent recorded by a separate consent-management system.
For instructions, consult the support documentation for your browser.
11. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies may be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies generally remain on your device while your browser session is active and are removed when the session ends.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them, depending on their configuration and your browser settings.
The duration of each cookie depends on its purpose and the technology involved. We aim to ensure that cookie lifetimes are appropriate for their intended functions and applicable legal requirements.
Information collected through cookies may be retained separately in system logs, analytics systems, security records, or other services in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable retention requirements.
12. International Data Transfers
Sonrails may use technology providers or infrastructure located in countries other than the country in which you reside.
Where cookie-related information is transferred internationally, we will take steps required by applicable law to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that appropriate safeguards are applied where necessary.
Additional information about international transfers and applicable safeguards may be provided in our Privacy Policy or through our privacy contact.
13. Data Protection and Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information associated with our website and platform against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or alteration.
These measures may include secure session management, access controls, system monitoring, and other appropriate safeguards.
No website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should also take reasonable steps to protect their devices, accounts, and authentication credentials.
Our approach to cookie-related information forms part of our broader privacy and information security practices.
