Cookie Policy

1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how “Colva”, trading as Colva Tech Limited, (“we”, “our”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website located at https://colva.tech (the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable UK data protection laws, including the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
By using our Website you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy (subject to your preferences). If you do not agree, you should disable cookies via your browser settings or opt-out as set out below.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your language preference, login status, or which pages you visited.
“Similar technologies” include pixels, local storage, device IDs or other techniques for storing or accessing information on a user’s device.

3. Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary / essential cookies: these enable core functionality of the Website (e.g., to keep you logged in, to maintain session state, to provide security, to present the website). These do not require your consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary for providing the service you request.

• Performance/analytics cookies: to gather information about how visitors use the Website (number of visitors, pages visited, errors encountered) so we can improve the Website.

• Functional cookies: to remember your preferences (for example language, region, or other customisations).

• Marketing/advertising cookies: to deliver content relevant to your interests, to track visits across websites, to build profiles for advertising.

If you visit the Website from outside the UK, or where third-party providers are involved (for example analytics or advertising partners), additional cookies may be set by those third parties.

4. Which cookies we use
Below is a summary of the typical cookies we use or may use. (Please note: this list may change as our Website evolves; we will update this policy when changes occur.)

If we use any third-party cookies then we will specify: (i) the name of the third-party; (ii) what they do; (iii) their expiry period.
You are encouraged to review any cookie preference pop-up or banner for details specific to your session.

5. How you can control cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies in several ways:

• Most web browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies. You can usually change your browser settings to block cookies, delete cookies or alert you when cookies are being used.

• You can opt-out of non-essential cookies via our cookie banner or settings centre when you first visit the Website (or any time you thereafter change your preferences).

• Disabling non-essential cookies may affect some features of the Website and may mean you cannot take full advantage of some functionality.

6. Consent withdrawal
If you have previously given consent to non-essential cookies, you may withdraw it at any time by changing your cookie preferences using the cookie settings link (if available) or by deleting/adjusting cookies via your browser as above. Note that withdrawing consent will not affect cookies that are strictly necessary for the Website to function.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time (for example if we change how the Website uses cookies). The date at the top of this policy will indicate when it was last revised. We encourage you to check back periodically.
