Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Kavvara (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit kavvara.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use. For broader information on how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies are not harmful — they cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They simply allow a website to recognize your device across page loads or return visits.

In addition to cookies, we may use local storage, session storage, and pixel tags (also called web beacons) which function similarly and are covered by this policy.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function correctly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies without affecting how the site works.

• Session management and authentication state.
• Load balancing and server routing.
• Security tokens to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
• User preference storage (e.g., dark/light theme selection).

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymized information. This helps us improve site performance, content, and navigation.

• Google Analytics — collects data on page views, session duration, traffic sources, and device types. Data is anonymized and aggregated. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Vercel Analytics — if deployed on Vercel, anonymized performance metrics may be collected to measure Core Web Vitals.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages.

• Remembering your language or region preferences.
• Storing form progress so data is not lost if you navigate away temporarily.
• Enabling embedded video or interactive content.

2.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on our website. We do not display third-party advertisements or participate in retargeting networks. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly and consent will be obtained where required.

3. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Kavvara for our website to function correctly. Third-party cookies are set by external services we integrate with (such as analytics tools). Third-party providers have their own privacy and cookie policies which govern their use of data collected through those cookies.

4. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies have varying retention periods depending on their purpose:

• Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (typically 30 days to 2 years) or until manually deleted.
• Analytics cookies — typically retained for 13 months before expiring.
• Preference cookies — retained for up to 1 year so your settings persist across visits.

5. Managing and Controlling Cookies

You have several options to manage or disable cookies. Please note that restricting cookies may impact your experience on our website.

5.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menus. Common options include blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies only, or deleting cookies on exit.

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions

5.2 Opt-Out of Google Analytics

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. We currently do not alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, as there is no common industry standard for their interpretation. We may revisit this position as standards evolve.

6. Consent

Where required by applicable law (such as the EU ePrivacy Directive or GDPR), we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential for the website to function.

You may withdraw or change your cookie preferences at any time via your browser settings or by contacting us.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or applicable legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
