JAAR Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how JAAR ("JAAR," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on usejaar.com (the "Website"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

By continuing to use our Website with your cookie settings unchanged, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Policy, except where we are required by law to obtain your prior consent for specific categories, in which case we will request that consent through our cookie banner or preference tool before those cookies are set.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and actions. We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, which function in a comparable way and are covered by this Policy.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core functionality such as keeping you logged into your account during a session, maintaining security during authentication (including OTP verification), enabling you to progress through a deal-creation or payment flow without losing entered information, and protecting against fraud and unauthorized access. Because these cookies are necessary for the Website to work, they do not require your consent, but we tell you about them for transparency.

3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or notification preferences, to give you a more personalized experience. Without these cookies, some features may not function as smoothly.

3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on a page, and whether users encounter errors. This helps us understand and improve how the Platform performs and where the transaction flow can be made simpler. Data collected by these cookies is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you.

3.4 Marketing/Advertising Cookies

Where used, these cookies may track your browsing activity across websites to help us and our partners deliver relevant advertising and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. We will only set these cookies with your consent, obtainable through our cookie banner or preference settings.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Website may be set by third parties who provide services to us, such as analytics providers or, where applicable, payment and verification partners integrated into our checkout and onboarding flows. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your interactions with our Website in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

5. How Long Do Cookies Last?

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. We use these primarily to maintain your session during login, payment, and multi-step flows such as deal creation.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (or until you delete them) and are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time through:

• Our cookie preference tool, accessible via the cookie banner or a "Cookie Settings" link in the Website footer; and/or
• Your browser settings, which allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent core features of the Platform, such as staying logged in or completing a payment flow, from working correctly.

Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser; you can generally find these under your browser's "Settings" or "Privacy" menu.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. As there is not yet a common industry standard for how to respond to such signals, our Website does not currently respond differently based on their presence, but you can still manage cookies directly as described above.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, or for legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date, and, where required, we will seek renewed consent for any new non-essential cookie categories introduced.
