This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that a website may store on or access from your device when you visit a website.

They can be used for purposes such as keeping a website secure, remembering preferences, maintaining a shopping basket, understanding how visitors use a website or measuring the effectiveness of marketing.

Similar technologies may also be used to store or access information on a device.

References to "cookies" in this policy should therefore be understood to include similar storage and access technologies where appropriate.

2. Why CLV uses cookies

CLV may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • operate and secure the website;

  • maintain website sessions;

  • allow customers to use shopping and checkout functionality;

  • support customer and CLV Trade accounts;

  • remember choices and preferences;

  • understand how visitors use the website;

  • identify technical problems;

  • improve website performance;

  • measure the effectiveness of marketing;

  • support integrations and services used by the website; and

  • provide functionality requested by visitors.

Not every category of cookie will necessarily be active for every visitor.

3. Essential cookies

Essential cookies are used where necessary to provide the website or functionality requested by the visitor.

These may support functions such as:

  • website security;

  • fraud prevention;

  • network management;

  • session management;

  • authentication;

  • account login;

  • shopping baskets;

  • checkout functionality;

  • remembering privacy or cookie choices; and

  • other functions necessary for the website to operate.

Because these technologies are necessary for the relevant service or functionality, they may be used without consent where permitted by applicable law.

Blocking some essential technologies through browser settings may prevent parts of the website from operating correctly.

4. Functional cookies

Functional cookies may be used to provide additional functionality or remember choices made by visitors.

Depending on the features active on the CLV website, these may support functions such as:

  • remembering preferences;

  • enhanced website features;

  • third-party functionality; and

  • personalising certain aspects of the website experience.

Where consent is required for functional cookies, they will not be activated until the visitor has made the relevant choice through our cookie-consent system.

5. Analytics cookies

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use the CLV website.

They may provide information about matters such as:

  • pages visited;

  • navigation through the website;

  • approximate visitor numbers;

  • time spent on pages;

  • website performance;

  • errors or technical problems;

  • traffic sources; and

  • general interaction with website features.

We may use analytics information to improve the design, functionality and performance of the CLV website.

Where consent is required, analytics technologies will only be used after the visitor has provided the relevant consent.

6. Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies and similar technologies may be used to measure advertising performance or understand how visitors interact with marketing campaigns.

Depending on the marketing services used by CLV, these technologies may support:

  • advertising measurement;

  • campaign attribution;

  • conversion measurement;

  • audience measurement;

  • remarketing or advertising functionality; and

  • understanding which marketing channels lead visitors to CLV.

Where consent is required, marketing technologies will not be activated until the visitor has provided the relevant consent.

7. Cookies used by Wix

The CLV Grading website is built using services provided by Wix.

Wix may use cookies and similar technologies necessary to operate, secure and provide functionality to websites hosted on its platform.

Depending on the functionality enabled on the CLV website, Wix technologies may also support areas such as:

  • security;

  • customer sessions;

  • accounts;

  • forms;

  • e-commerce;

  • checkout;

  • website preferences;

  • analytics; and

  • consent management.

The specific cookies and technologies present on the website may change as Wix updates its services or as CLV changes the functionality used on the website.

Our cookie-consent system provides further information about the technologies detected on the website and the choices available to visitors.

8. Third-party services

CLV may use third-party services that place or access cookies or similar technologies.

Depending on the services active on the website, these may include providers of:

  • website functionality;

  • analytics;

  • payment services;

  • embedded content;

  • marketing;

  • social-media functionality;

  • customer support; and

  • other website integrations.

The exact third parties used may change as CLV develops its website and services.

Where a third-party technology requires consent, we aim to configure it so that it is not activated until the relevant consent has been obtained.

Third-party providers may also process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

9. Payments and checkout

Cookies or similar technologies may be necessary to support secure shopping, payment and checkout functionality.

These technologies may help maintain a customer's basket, process a transaction, prevent fraud or maintain the security of the checkout process.

Payment providers may use their own necessary technologies when providing a payment service requested by the customer.

The payment methods and providers available through CLV may change over time.

Further information about how payment-related personal information is handled is available in our Privacy Policy.

10. CLV Trade accounts

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support the secure operation of CLV Trade.

These may be necessary to:

  • authenticate approved Trade users;

  • maintain login sessions;

  • restrict access to protected Trade content;

  • maintain account security;

  • support Trade shopping functionality; and

  • prevent unauthorised access.

Where a technology is strictly necessary to provide account functionality requested by an approved Trade user, it may operate without consent where permitted by law.

Non-essential analytics or marketing technologies remain subject to the applicable consent requirements.

11. Cookie consent

When required, visitors are given a choice about the use of non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

Non-essential technologies should not be activated merely because a visitor continues browsing the website.

Our consent system may allow visitors to:

  • accept all optional technologies;

  • reject non-essential technologies; or

  • select which categories they wish to allow.

Essential technologies required to operate the website or provide requested functionality cannot necessarily be disabled through the consent tool.

12. Changing your choices

You can change or withdraw your cookie choices using the cookie/privacy controls made available on the CLV website.

Withdrawing consent will not make previous processing that was lawful at the time unlawful.

Changing your preferences may affect the availability or behaviour of some non-essential website features.

You can also control cookies through your web browser.

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings.

Blocking all cookies, including essential cookies, may prevent some website functions from operating correctly.

13. How long cookies remain on your device

Different cookies operate for different periods.

Some are session cookies, which normally expire when the browser session ends.

Others are persistent cookies, which may remain on the device for a specified period unless deleted earlier.

The duration depends on the purpose of the relevant technology and the provider responsible for it.

The website's cookie-consent tool may provide further information about individual technologies and their duration.

We aim to use retention periods that are appropriate for the purpose for which the relevant technology is used.

14. Cookies and personal information

Some information obtained through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information.

Where this occurs, that information will also be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

Our Privacy Policy explains your data-protection rights and how you can contact us about the use of your personal information.

15. Changes to the cookies we use

The technologies used by the CLV website may change as we:

  • add new website features;

  • introduce CLV Retail functionality;

  • develop CLV Trade;

  • change payment providers;

  • introduce new analytics services;

  • change marketing systems;

  • update Wix functionality; or

  • otherwise develop the website.

We may therefore update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

Where a material change means that fresh consent is required, we will take appropriate steps to obtain that consent.

16. Reviewing our cookie use

CLV may periodically review and scan the website to identify cookies and similar technologies in use.

We aim to ensure that technologies are appropriately categorised and that non-essential technologies are subject to appropriate visitor controls.

Where we introduce custom code or third-party applications, we will aim to review whether those technologies use cookies or similar technologies and whether consent is required.
