Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how YOA LTD ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies when you visit the PURO website or use the PURO mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Services").

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use your personal data.

2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the site owners.

Local Storage and Session Storage are industry-standard technologies that allow a website or app to store and retrieve data on your device. In Web3 applications, these are frequently used to maintain secure cryptographic sessions without relying on traditional server-side cookies.

3. How We Use These Technologies

We use cookies and local storage for different purposes, which fall into the following categories:

A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Technologies

These are required for the operation and security of our Services. You cannot opt out of these, as the Services cannot function securely without them. Under UK law, we do not require your consent to use these, but we must inform you about them.

• Authentication & Security: We use local storage via our infrastructure partner, Privy, to manage your secure login sessions, handle cryptographic key sharding, and ensure you remain securely authenticated while using your non-custodial wallet.
• Network Routing: Essential data used to route your requests reliably to third-party RPC nodes (such as Alchemy).
• Compliance: Cookies or local storage used to remember your geographic location to enforce regulatory geoblocking (e.g., restricting UK access to the Fiat On-Ramp).

B. Analytical and Performance Cookies

These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around our website and app. This helps us improve the way our Services work, for example, by ensuring users find what they are looking for easily.

We will only use these cookies if you provide explicit consent via our cookie banner.

C. Functionality Cookies

These are used to recognize you when you return to our Services. They enable us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language, dark/light mode, or selected default blockchain network).

We will only use these cookies if you provide explicit consent.

D. Third-Party Cookies

Some features on our website or app are provided by third parties (such as MoonPay for the Fiat On-Ramp). When you interact with these integrated services, those third parties may place their own cookies or local storage files on your device. We do not control these third-party technologies, and their use is governed by the respective third parties' own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept non-essential cookies.

• Cookie Banner: When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies (Analytical and Functionality).
• Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies/local storage via your browser settings, the PURO application and embedded wallet will not function correctly, and you may be unable to log in.

To learn how to manage cookies on popular browsers, please visit the help pages of your specific browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox).

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
