Cookie Policy
Effective and last updated: April 15, 2026
This Cookie Policy describes how Cardiff Valero Market uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on cardiffvalero.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information notice.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and session storage. In this Policy, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies."
How We Use Cookies
Cookies on cardiffvalero.com fall into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary (Essential)
These cookies are required for the website to function. They do not require your consent and cannot be turned off. Examples: session identifiers, authentication for the admin portal, load-balancing, CSRF protection, and storing your cookie-consent choice.
Functional / Preferences
These cookies remember choices you make to give you a more personalized experience (for example, consent preferences). You can disable them in our cookie banner or your browser settings without breaking core functionality.
Analytics
If and when enabled, we may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or privacy-focused alternatives) to understand how visitors use cardiffvalero.com in aggregate — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, where they come from. These are used only to improve the website and are loaded only with your consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services embedded in our pages (for example, Google Maps on the Contact page, or fonts loaded from Google Fonts). These third parties control those cookies, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Your Choices
On first visit, we display a cookie banner that lets you choose between "Accept All" and "Essentials Only." Your choice is stored in local storage on your device and honored on subsequent visits. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's storage for this site and revisiting the page.
Most browsers also allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies on exit — though some site features may stop working.
For ad-tracking controls across the web, you may visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out at optout.aboutads.info.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We honor Global Privacy Control signals sent by your browser as an opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA.
Retention
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period (typically up to 12 months) unless you clear them sooner. Consent choices are retained for up to 12 months or until you change your preference.
Do Not Track
Because there is no common industry standard for interpreting "Do Not Track" signals, our website does not currently respond to them in a specific way. We do, however, honor GPC signals as described above.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. Material changes will be indicated at the top of this page.
