1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information about your session or preferences.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as “cookies”.

3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. Without them you cannot log in, navigate between pages, or use core features. They do not collect personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without breaking the service.
- Authentication session token (keeps you signed in)
- CSRF protection token (prevents cross-site request forgery)
- Cookie consent preference (remembers your choice)
3.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (e.g., language, UI preferences) to provide a personalised experience. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the platform — which pages are visited, how long users stay, and where errors occur. This helps us improve the product. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymised; no individual user is identified.
You may decline analytics cookies when the cookie banner appears, or at any time by clearing your browser's cookies.

CrewVal does not use:
- Advertising or tracking cookies
- Third-party social-media tracking pixels
- Cookies that share your data with advertisers
