Last Updated: April 22, 2025
Welcome to Pulvel’s Cookie Policy. At Pulvel, we believe in transparency about how we collect and use data related to you. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website, and the choices you have regarding their use.
What are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to website owners.
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, such as:
- Web Beacons (or Pixel Tags): Small graphic images on a webpage or in an email that allow us to monitor user activity and engagement.
- Local Storage (e.g., HTML5 Local Storage): Data elements that can be stored in your browser, similar to cookies but with a larger capacity, enabling website performance improvement.
- Device Identifiers: Unique identifiers assigned to your devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets) that can be used for analytics and advertising.
For the purpose of this policy, we will refer to all these technologies broadly as “cookies.”

Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our website into the following types:
a. Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies: These cookies are indispensable for our website to function correctly. They enable core features such as securely navigating the site, logging into your account, adding items to your shopping cart, and completing a purchase.

b. Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymized information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, the duration of visits, and if users encounter any error messages.

For example, we might use services like Google Analytics for this purpose.
