Cookie Policy

How Valta uses cookies and similar technologies.

This Cookie Policy explains how Valta ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our platform. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

Last updated: February 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve performance, and provide information to site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage to collect and store information about your interactions with our platform.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our platform. They enable core functionality such as authentication, session management, and security features. Without these cookies, Valta cannot function as intended.

  • Session cookies: Maintain your authenticated session so you remain logged in as you navigate between pages
  • Security cookies: Help detect and prevent fraudulent activity, cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and unauthorized access to your account
  • Load balancing cookies: Distribute traffic across our servers to ensure consistent platform performance

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website and platform. The information collected is aggregated and used to improve usability, identify performance bottlenecks, and inform product decisions.

  • Page views, navigation patterns, and time spent on specific features
  • Error rates, load times, and technical performance metrics
  • Referral sources and general geographic information based on IP address

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow our platform to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, timezone, dashboard layout, or notification settings. These cookies enhance your experience by personalizing the platform to your preferences without requiring you to reconfigure settings on each visit.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our platform are placed by third-party services that we use to operate and improve Valta. These third parties may include:

  • Analytics providers (such as Vercel Analytics and PostHog) that help us measure platform usage and performance
  • Payment processors (such as Stripe and Paystack) that may set cookies during payment flows for fraud prevention and transaction processing
  • Error monitoring services that help us identify and resolve technical issues affecting users

Each third-party provider operates under its own cookie and privacy policy. We encourage you to review their respective policies for more information on how they handle your data.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You have several options for controlling and managing cookies:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. The method for managing cookies varies by browser:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from using core Valta features, including logging in and managing your wallets. Disabling analytics or preference cookies will not affect core functionality but may reduce the quality of your experience.

5. Cookie Retention

Different cookies are retained for different periods:

  • Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Our persistent cookies typically expire within 12 months
  • Authentication cookies used by Valta expire after your session ends or after a defined inactivity period, whichever comes first

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the technologies we employ, or applicable regulations. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the platform or via email.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
