1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how the Yaval website uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage and session storage). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — local storage and session storage — let a site remember limited information in your browser. We refer to all of these together as "cookies" in this policy.
3. Cookies we use
Essential / security cookies: set when you sign in to an authenticated area (buyer, supplier, or admin) to keep your session secure. These are required for those areas to function and cannot be switched off.
Preference storage: we use your browser's local and session storage to remember small interface choices — for example, dismissing the floating call-to-action or recording your cookie choice — so you are not prompted repeatedly.
4. What we do not use
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or profiling cookies that follow you across other websites. We do not sell data collected through cookies.
5. Third-party providers
Some essential functionality is provided by trusted infrastructure partners (for example, our authentication, database and storage provider). Any cookies they set in connection with the service are used to operate it securely, not to advertise to you.
6. Managing cookies
You can accept or limit cookies through the notice shown on the site, and you can clear or block cookies at any time in your browser settings.
Because our non-essential storage is limited to interface preferences, blocking it will not break the site, though you may be re-prompted for choices you previously made. Blocking essential session cookies will prevent you from signing in to authenticated areas.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our use of cookies evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
8. Contact
For any question about how we use cookies, please reach the Yaval trade desk through our contact page.
