Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They're used to make sites work properly, keep you signed in, remember preferences, and help us understand how our service is being used.
This Cookie Policy explains how KolvaSniper (a product of Kolva Ltd — “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies such as browser local storage when you use our service.
2. Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are strictly necessary for KolvaSniper to function. They cannot be turned off in our system because the service won't work without them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| kolva.session | Authenticates your signed-in session (when accounts are enabled). | Session / up to 30 days |
| kolva.csrf | Protects forms and API calls from cross-site request forgery. | Session |
| cookie_consent | Records your acknowledgment of this Cookie Policy. | 12 months |
3. Preference Cookies
These remember choices you make so KolvaSniper feels consistent across visits. They're optional — if you disable them you'll just lose personalisation.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| kolva.theme | Remembers light/dark mode (if available). | 12 months |
| kolva.sidebar | Remembers whether your sidebar is collapsed or expanded. | 12 months |
4. Browser Local Storage
In addition to cookies, KolvaSniper uses your browser's local storage to cache draft search queries, hunt configurations and UI state. Local storage stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly submit it.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services we integrate with may set their own cookies when you interact with them through KolvaSniper:
| Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe — privacy policy | Payment processing and fraud prevention on billing pages. | Up to 12 months |
| Cloudflare — privacy policy | Network security, bot protection and tunnelling traffic to our origin servers. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics (placeholder) | We may add a privacy-respecting analytics provider in future. This page will be updated and consent re-requested before any analytics cookies are set. | TBD |
We do not use advertising cookies.
KolvaSniper does not run advertising trackers, build behavioural profiles, or sell your data to third parties.
6. Managing Your Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies in two ways:
- Our consent banner. When we add optional cookies you'll see a banner on your first visit. You can revisit your choices at any time from the link in the site footer once it ships.
- Your browser settings. Every modern browser lets you block, delete or limit cookies. See the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.
Note: blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in or using KolvaSniper's sniping and offer features.
7. Updates To This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the product evolves — for example, when we add new integrations or analytics. When we do, we'll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, for material changes, show a notice inside KolvaSniper.
