Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide information to site owners, and improve the browsing experience.

This Cookie Policy explains how VUNA Exchange Ltd ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our platform at vx.vunaexchange.uk. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

These cookies are essential for the platform to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as signing in, setting your privacy preferences, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the platform cannot operate correctly.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the platform. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on the site, and whether error messages are encountered. All data is aggregated and anonymous.

These cookies are off by default and are only activated when you give explicit consent via the cookie banner or preferences modal. During our beta period, these cookies help us improve the platform experience for all users.

4. Marketing Cookies

Vuna Exchange does not currently use any marketing cookies, advertising pixels, or third-party tracking technologies. Should this change in the future, we will update this policy and request your explicit consent before enabling any such technologies.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:

• Clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page.
• Using the cookie banner that appears on your first visit to the platform.

When you change your preference from "Accept" to "Reject", analytics cookies are immediately disabled and no further analytics data is collected.

You can delete cookies already stored on your device through your browser settings. Here is how to clear cookies in common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear Browsing Data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Privacy → Choose what to clear

Please note that clearing cookies will also remove your consent preference, so the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.

7. Legal Basis

Strictly necessary cookies are placed under the "legitimate interest" exception in the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and do not require consent.

Analytics cookies require your explicit consent under PECR and the UK GDPR. We will not set these cookies until you actively opt in.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will re-prompt you for consent. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
