Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 2025
At xandorivale, we're straightforward about how we collect information when you visit xandorivale.com. This policy walks you through what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
We believe in transparency. So we're spelling out exactly what happens when you browse our site and how these small data files help us create a better experience for you.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done.
These files don't harm your computer. They can't read files on your hard drive or carry viruses. They simply store small pieces of information that make your browsing experience smoother and more personalized.
Every time you return to a site that uses cookies, your browser sends these files back to the server. This is how websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how people use their platform.
Essential Cookies
These are the cookies we absolutely need to make xandorivale.com function properly. Without them, basic features just wouldn't work.
- Keeping you logged in as you move between pages
- Remembering items in your inquiry basket
- Maintaining security during your session
- Processing requests you make through our forms
You can't really turn these off if you want to use our site. They're the foundation of everything we do here.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your choices and preferences to make your experience more personalized. They're helpful but not strictly necessary.
- Storing your language preference
- Remembering if you've dismissed notifications
- Keeping track of your accessibility settings
- Saving customizations you've made to the interface
If you block these, some features might not work as smoothly, but the site will still function.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. The information helps us improve what we offer and fix problems you might encounter.
- Tracking which pages get visited most often
- Understanding how long people stay on different sections
- Identifying where visitors come from before landing on our site
- Spotting error messages or technical issues
All this data is aggregated and anonymous. We never track you individually.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing activity to build a profile of your interests. They help us show you relevant content and measure how effective our communications are.
- Showing you content relevant to your interests
- Limiting how many times you see the same message
- Measuring the effectiveness of our outreach campaigns
- Understanding which channels bring people to our site
Third parties might also use these cookies to show xandorivale content on other sites you visit.
