5. Types of Cookies We Use

Valarn may use the following categories of cookies.

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for Valarn to work properly. They support core platform functions and cannot usually be disabled through our cookie preference tools.

Examples include cookies used to:

sign you in;
maintain sessions;
authenticate accounts;
prevent fraud;
secure forms;
remember privacy choices;
process subscriptions;
enforce usage limits;
protect against abuse;
load essential pages;
balance server traffic;
prevent duplicate submissions.

Without these cookies, Valarn may not function correctly.

Consent: These cookies are generally used without requiring opt-in consent because they are necessary to provide the service.

5.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help Valarn remember choices and improve convenience.

Examples include cookies used to remember:

theme preference;
language preference;
region preference;
dashboard layout;
watchlist display preferences;
report view preferences;
saved filters;
dismissed banners;
cookie settings;
accessibility settings.

If you disable functional cookies, some personalization features may not work properly.

5.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with Valarn so we can improve the platform.

These cookies may help us understand:

which pages are visited;
which features are used;
how reports are generated;
where users encounter errors;
how long pages take to load;
which marketing pages convert;
which dashboards are useful;
where users drop off;
how often features are used;
what devices and browsers are used.

Valarn counts page views itself, and uses PostHog for product analytics, masked session replay (all text and form inputs are hidden) and in-app surveys. Analytics cookies are set only if you allow Analytics in the cookie banner or the cookie preference center. If you choose "essential only", or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, no analytics cookies are set on your device.

If we add another analytics tool, we will update this policy first.

5.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Valarn does not use advertising or targeting cookies, and no advertising pixels or retargeting tags run on Valarn.

If that ever changes, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

These cookies may help us:

identify which referral link brought a user to Valarn;

sharing reports or pages;
embedding social content;
measuring social campaigns;
tracking engagement;
supporting social login;
retargeting through social platforms;
measuring ad performance.

Valarn does not use social media tracking cookies or social login. Share buttons open the platform's own page only when you click them, and that platform's privacy policy then applies. Embedded videos, where shown, use YouTube's privacy-enhanced (no-cookie) mode.
