Cookie Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies we use on the Bidvane website (operated by YatedLabs), what they do, and how you control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We use cookies in line with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences. We also use similar technologies (such as local storage) for the same purposes; we refer to all of them as "cookies" here.
2. Your consent
Essential cookies are always on because the service cannot run without them. Non-essential cookies — including analytics — are not set until you opt in. When you first visit, our banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time by reopening the cookie controls. Until you accept, no analytics cookies are placed and our analytics provider does not load.
3. Categories of cookies we use
Essential cookies
Required for the site to function — for example, a session cookie that keeps you signed in, and a cookie that records your cookie-consent choice. These do not require consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Session | Keeps you signed in and secures your session. | Session / up to 30 days |
| Consent record | Remembers your accept/reject choice for cookies. | 12 months |
Analytics cookies (non-essential)
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics (GA4). These cookies are only set after you opt in, and Google may process the data in the United States under the EU–US / UK–US Data Privacy Framework (see our Privacy Policy).
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (GA4) | Aggregate, non-identifying website analytics. | Up to 12 months |
4. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the service from working.
