Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 January 2025. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on arval.ltd.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter information each time you visit or navigate between pages.
Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website operators. They can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until deleted manually).
2. How We Use Cookies
Arval Deutschland GmbH uses cookies on the arval.ltd website for the following purposes:
- To ensure the technical functionality of the website (strictly necessary cookies).
- To remember your cookie consent preferences.
- To analyse how visitors use the website so we can improve it (analytics cookies, only with your consent).
We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or tracking purposes unrelated to website operation.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They cannot be disabled without affecting core website functionality. No consent is required for these cookies, as their use is based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| arval_cookie_choice | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined) so the consent banner is not shown repeatedly. | 12 months | localStorage (first-party) |
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Website. This helps us improve the Website's content and usability. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent. If you decline cookies, no analytics data will be collected.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| No analytics cookies are currently active on this website. | |||
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. Currently, we do not use functional cookies beyond those listed above.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our Website uses web fonts served by Google Fonts. When your browser loads a page, it may make a request to Google's servers to retrieve font files. This may involve the processing of your IP address by Google. We have configured our font loading to minimise data transfer. For information about Google's data practices, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy.
We also use Phosphor Icons loaded from an external CDN (unpkg.com). Loading resources from this CDN may involve transmission of your IP address to the CDN provider.
We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
5. Managing Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through this banner. You can reset your preferences at any time using the "Reset Cookie Preferences" button in the sidebar of this page, which will clear your stored consent and show the banner again on your next page visit.
Browser Settings
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, or delete cookies already stored. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including ours. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
Opt-Out Tools
For analytics cookies from third-party providers, you may also use the opt-out tools provided by those providers. Where applicable, links to such tools will be listed in the cookie table above.
6. Impact of Refusing Cookies
If you decline or delete cookies, the core informational content of the Website remains fully accessible. Your cookie preference choice will also be lost if you clear your browser's local storage, which means the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
7. Legal Basis
Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies) are only placed with your prior, informed consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. We recommend checking this page periodically. Continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy.
