Cookie Policy
This policy outlines the nature of cookies, identifies which categories Sanvestium employs across this website, describes their respective functions, specifies their duration of persistence, and details the methods available for you to decline or remove them whenever you choose.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device.
Upon your next visit to the site, your browser transmits these files back to the server, enabling the site to identify your session, retain your settings, and track page usage patterns. Comparable techniques - including local storage, session storage, and small tracking pixels - function similarly, and all such mechanisms are encompassed by this policy under the collective designation "cookies".
A cookie generally contains the name of the site that set it, a value (often a random identifier) and an expiry date. Cookies cannot read other files on your device and are not programs.
Why we use cookies
Sanvestium uses cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to remember the choices you make, to understand which pages are useful, and - where you have agreed - to measure the performance of our marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you open the site because the site cannot work without them. All other categories are only activated after you give consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.
The categories we use
All cookies used on this website fall into one of the following four categories.
Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.
Preference (functionality) cookies
These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.
Analytics (performance) cookies
These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.
Marketing (advertising) cookies
These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, security, load balancing, consent record | No - required for the site to work | Session up to about 12 months |
| Preference | Language, region and display choices | Yes | Days up to about 12 months |
| Analytics | Combined visitor traffic and site page-speed metrics | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
| Marketing | Ad campaign tracking and promotional effectiveness analysis | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
How long cookies live
Session cookies persist only during your active browser session and are automatically deleted upon browser closure. Persistent cookies persist until they reach their expiration date or until you remove them; on this site their durations vary from several days to approximately two years, based on their function. The specific expiration time for any given cookie may always be reviewed in your browser's storage options.
We maintain a record of your consent selections for a limited timeframe to prevent the banner from appearing on each visit; following that timeframe we will request your choice again.
Third-party cookies
Certain cookies are placed by third-party service providers working in our capacity, such as providers of analytics platforms, content distribution, security measures or campaign tracking. These third parties may access their own cookies when you browse other websites utilizing their services. We do not manage the substance of third-party cookies; how they use the information they gather is subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies.
Where a third-party cookie is not strictly necessary, it is only placed after you have consented through the cookie banner. If you would like a list of the providers currently in use, contact support and we will provide the up-to-date details.
How to refuse or delete cookies
You are always free to change your mind.
Through our banner
Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.
Through your browser
All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.
Private browsing
Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.
What happens if you block cookies
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will cause certain features of the site to stop functioning: you may find yourself logged out, unable to submit information or unable to proceed through a secured transaction. Disabling preference cookies results in settings such as language preferences not being saved. Disabling analytics or promotional cookies does not impact how the site works - you will simply not be included in our analytics and campaign reporting.
Updates and how to contact us
We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.
If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Relevant materials are available in the footer section of all pages, such as our Privacy Policy.
