Cookie Policy

At Carviano, we use cookies and similar technologies to help operate our website, provide essential shopping functions, remember selected preferences, understand how visitors use our website, and improve the overall online shopping experience. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how they may be used on Carviano, the types of information they may help collect, and the choices available to visitors when using our website.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on a visitor's device when the website is accessed. Cookies can help a website recognize a browser, remember certain information, maintain a shopping session, and provide a more consistent experience when visitors move between pages.

Cookies may be temporary or persistent. Temporary cookies, sometimes called session cookies, generally remain available while a browsing session is active. Persistent cookies may remain on a device for a longer period or until they are removed or expire.

2. Why Carviano Uses Cookies

Cookies can support different parts of the Carviano website. Depending on the website functions and technologies in use, cookies may be used to:

• Keep essential website functions working properly.
• Maintain shopping cart and checkout functionality.
• Remember certain user preferences.
• Help maintain website security.
• Understand how visitors navigate and interact with the website.
• Identify technical issues and improve website performance.
• Provide a more convenient and consistent shopping experience.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

4. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are important for basic website functionality. Without certain essential technologies, features such as shopping cart management, checkout, session handling, or security controls may not function correctly.

These technologies may operate automatically when you use the website because they support services or functions that you have requested.

5. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may allow the website to remember information or preferences that make your browsing experience more convenient. For example, certain website settings may be remembered so that you do not have to provide the same information repeatedly during a browsing session.

The availability and specific functionality of these cookies may change as Carviano updates and improves the website.

6. Analytics and Performance Technologies

Carviano may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website. These technologies can provide aggregated information such as which pages receive visits, how users navigate the website, or whether certain website functions are working as expected.

This information can help us identify areas for improvement, diagnose technical problems, and make the website easier to use.

7. Third-Party Services

Some website functions may rely on third-party service providers. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with the services they provide.

For example, Carviano currently uses PayPal as its payment method. When you proceed through PayPal checkout, PayPal may use its own technologies for payment processing, fraud prevention, security, authentication, and other purposes.

8. Cookies and Personal Information

Depending on how a cookie or similar technology is used, information associated with website activity may be connected with other information collected through the website. We aim to use information appropriately and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Cookies may help recognize a browser or device, but a cookie by itself does not necessarily identify an individual by name. The type and amount of information collected depends on the specific technology and how the website is being used.

9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern web browsers allow users to manage or restrict cookies through their browser settings. Depending on the browser, you may be able to block cookies, delete existing cookies, receive notifications before cookies are stored, or configure other cookie preferences.

Browser controls vary between devices and browsers. If you choose to disable certain cookies, some Carviano website features may not work properly.

10. Managing Cookies on Mobile Devices

Mobile browsers and operating systems may provide their own privacy and tracking controls. You can review the privacy, security, and browser settings available on your mobile device to determine how cookies and similar technologies are managed.

Disabling certain technologies may affect the availability or performance of some Carviano website functions.

11. Cookies Used for Security

Certain cookies or similar technologies may support website security. These technologies can help maintain valid sessions, identify unusual activity, support fraud prevention, and protect website functions from unauthorized use.

Security-related technologies may be necessary for certain portions of the website to function correctly and therefore may not be optional in every circumstance.

12. Cookies During Checkout

Shopping and checkout may require cookies or similar session technologies to maintain information as you move through the purchasing process.

These technologies may help maintain your cart, remember the current checkout session, and support the transition to PayPal for payment authorization.

13. Cookies and Your Shopping Cart

When you add products to your shopping cart, certain website technologies may be used to maintain your selected products as you continue browsing. If cookies are disabled or deleted, your cart or other session information may not behave as expected.

For the best shopping experience, we recommend allowing essential cookies while browsing and checking out on Carviano.

14. Cookie Retention

The length of time a cookie remains on a device depends on its type, purpose, and configuration. Some cookies are removed when a browser session ends, while others may remain until they expire or are manually deleted.

Cookie lifetimes may change when website functionality, security requirements, analytics services, or third-party integrations are updated.

15. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Carviano may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technologies, services, legal requirements, or business practices.

When changes are made, the updated version will be made available through the Carviano website. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically so they remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies may be used.

16. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy explains the use of cookies and similar technologies on the Carviano website. Our Privacy Policy provides additional information about how personal information may be collected, used, stored, protected, and disclosed.

These policies should be read together to understand our broader approach to website information and privacy.
