Cookie Policy

1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how YAVA London Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at www.yava.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags and local storage. They allow a website to function, to remember your preferences, and to provide information about how the site is used. Cookies may be set by us (first party) or by third parties whose services we use.

3. How we use cookies and your consent

We set strictly necessary cookies automatically, because the website cannot work properly without them. We set optional cookies, such as analytics cookies, only where you have given your consent through our cookie banner.

When you first visit our website, the banner lets you accept or decline optional cookies. You can change your choice at any time by selecting Cookie preferences in the website footer, which reopens the banner. Declining optional cookies will not affect your ability to use the site. We keep a record of your choice and will ask for your consent again from time to time, and whenever our use of cookies changes materially.

4. Categories of cookies we use

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for the website to function and to remember your cookie choice. These do not require consent.
• Analytics and performance cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site so that we can improve it. These are set only with your consent.
• Functional cookies: remember choices you make to improve your experience. Where these are not strictly necessary, they are set only with your consent.

We do not use cookies to serve advertising or to build marketing profiles.

5. Cookies we use

The table below lists the cookies used on our website. Complete or update it once analytics is configured, so that it reflects the exact cookies in use.

6. Third party services

Our website loads some resources from third parties, which may set cookies or process technical data such as your IP address:

• Web fonts: currently loaded from Google Fonts, operated by Google LLC.
• Mapping: loaded from a content delivery network to display the coverage map.
• Analytics: provided by Google Analytics (a service of Google LLC), where you have given consent.

We recommend reviewing the privacy notices of these providers for details of how they use data.

7. Managing your preferences

You can manage cookies in two ways. First, through our cookie banner and the Cookie preferences link in the website footer. Second, through your browser settings, which allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works. General guidance is available at aboutcookies.org and in your browser’s help pages.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track signal. There is currently no agreed industry standard for responding to it, and our website does not respond to Do Not Track signals. We honour the choice you make through our cookie banner.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always available on our website, with the date of the latest update shown at the top.
