Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 24, 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how GVAGROUP ('we', 'our', or 'us') uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy to understand how we handle your information.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be:

  • Session Cookies

    Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help websites remember your actions during a single browsing session.

  • Persistent Cookies

    Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They help websites remember your preferences and settings.

  • First-Party Cookies

    Cookies set directly by the website you are visiting. These are typically used for essential website functionality.

  • Third-Party Cookies

    Cookies set by domains other than the one you are visiting. These are often used for advertising and analytics purposes.

Cookies We Use

Currently, our website uses minimal cookies. Here's what we use:

  • Essential Cookies

    We do not currently set any essential cookies directly. Our website functionality relies on browser localStorage for theme and language preferences, which is not a cookie but serves a similar purpose.

  • Analytics Cookies

    We do not use analytics cookies or tracking cookies. We do not employ services like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other analytics platforms that would set tracking cookies.

  • Marketing/Advertising Cookies

    We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not display third-party advertisements or use advertising networks that would set cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

Our website may receive cookies from third-party services we use:

  • Google Fonts

    We use Google Fonts (Poppins) to display text on our website. Google Fonts may set cookies on your device. According to Google's privacy policy, Google Fonts may collect certain information including IP addresses. You can learn more about Google's cookie usage in their privacy policy.

  • OpenStreetMap

    We use OpenStreetMap for displaying maps on our contact page. OpenStreetMap does not require cookies and does not set any tracking cookies on your device.

LocalStorage and Similar Technologies

While not technically cookies, we use browser localStorage for storing preferences:

  • Theme Preference

    We store your light/dark mode preference in localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is used solely to remember your visual preference.

  • Language Preference

    We store your selected language preference in localStorage. This allows the website to remember your language choice for future visits.

Managing Cookies

You have control over cookies. Here's how you can manage them:

  • Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies. You can also delete existing cookies through your browser settings.
  • Browser-Specific Instructions: Each browser has different methods for managing cookies. Check your browser's help section for specific instructions.
  • Disable Third-Party Cookies: You can configure your browser to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies.
  • Clear localStorage: You can clear your browser's localStorage to remove theme and language preferences.
  • Private/Incognito Mode: Using private browsing mode prevents cookies from being stored after you close the session.

Cookie Consent

Since we use minimal cookies (primarily through Google Fonts), and we do not use tracking or analytics cookies, we do not currently display a cookie consent banner. However, by using our website, you acknowledge that third-party services (like Google Fonts) may set cookies as described in this policy.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the 'Last Updated' date.
