What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

How Cookies Work

When you visit our website, our servers send a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to our servers each time you return. This allows us to:

• Remember your preferences and settings
• Keep you logged into your account
• Understand how you use our services
• Improve our products based on usage patterns
• Deliver relevant content and advertisements

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies including:

• Local Storage: Data stored in your browser that persists even after you close it
• Session Storage: Temporary data that is cleared when you close your browser
• Pixels/Web Beacons: Small invisible images that track page visits and email opens
• Fingerprinting: Collecting device characteristics for identification (used sparingly)

Throughout this policy, we use "cookies" to refer to all these technologies collectively.

Types of Cookies

Cookies can be categorized in several ways:

By Duration

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help us track your movements from page to page during a single session.
• Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences across multiple visits.

By Origin

• First-Party Cookies: Set by us (valantir.io) and can only be read by our website.

Your Choices

Impact of Disabling Cookies
