Cookie Policy

About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Banala Inc. (“Banala,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on banala.life. It describes their purposes and the choices available to you.

Read this policy together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information, including disclosures to service providers, international processing, retention, and applicable privacy rights.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. They can help recognize a browser, remember a shopping cart or preference, and support other website functions.

Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, and local storage. Depending on their function, these technologies may collect or use information such as an IP address, browser or device details, identifiers, pages viewed, referral sources, and interactions with content.

In this policy, references to cookies also include similar technologies where relevant. A technology does not need to be called a cookie for privacy or consent rules to apply.

How we use these technologies

The technologies used depend on the pages, features, and services you access. Their purposes may include:

Essential website functions. Supporting the shopping cart, checkout, authentication where applicable, security, and fraud prevention.
Preferences and functionality. Remembering choices such as language or region and supporting features you request.
Performance and analytics. Understanding how visitors use our website, identifying problems, and improving pages and the customer experience.
Marketing and advertising. Measuring campaign performance, understanding interactions with Banala content, and helping show relevant advertising across websites or platforms.

Consent requirements depend on the technology, its purpose, and applicable law. Some uses qualify for a legal exception; others require prior consent. Visiting the website or reading this policy does not, by itself, provide consent where an affirmative choice is required.

First-party and third-party technologies

First-party cookies are set for the domain you visit. Third-party cookies are set for a different domain. Other organizations may also supply tags, pixels, or related technologies for payment processing, analytics, advertising, customer support, or embedded content.

Third-party providers may receive device information and details of your interactions with their features. Advertising and analytics providers may also collect information about online activity over time and across different websites or services.

Some providers process information on our behalf; others may use information for their own purposes under their privacy notices. Their involvement does not remove Banala’s responsibilities under applicable law for processing within our control.

How long cookies remain

Session cookies generally last for a browsing session. Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiration or until they are deleted. Similar technologies, such as local storage, may remain until cleared or removed by the relevant service.

The duration depends on the technology and its purpose. Your browser’s privacy or site-data settings can show information about stored cookies and let you remove them. The time a cookie remains on your device is separate from how long information already collected is retained; our Privacy Policy explains the factors relevant to that retention.

Managing your choices

Website controls. Where a cookie banner or preference control is displayed on our website, use it to manage the options offered there. Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent. You can contact contact@banala.life if you need help with a cookie or privacy choice.

Browser settings. Most browsers let you review, delete, or block cookies and other stored site data. Blocking essential technologies can affect requested functions such as the shopping cart, checkout, or account access. Browser settings may not control every form of tracking.

Devices and browsers. Some preferences are stored on a particular browser or device. If you change devices, use another browser, or clear stored data, check whether the relevant choice needs to be set again. This does not limit any broader effect that an opt-out must have under applicable law.

Advertising and privacy choices

Some disclosures through advertising technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged. Where those laws apply, you may have a right to opt out. See our Privacy Policy or contact contact@banala.life to make a request or ask about the choices available to you.

Browser tools may offer different kinds of privacy signals. Legacy “Do Not Track” settings are distinct from opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control. The legal effect of a signal depends on the applicable law and the processing involved.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in an email. For cookies and advertising, review the relevant website, browser, device, or provider controls.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our website, technologies, practices, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised version here and update the effective date above. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes or obtain consent.
