Last updated: February 10, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Iamverse Investment ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our website and investment platform (the "Service"). It should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services the website uses ("third-party cookies").
Related technologies include:
- Local Storage: Data stored in your browser's local storage, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity and no automatic expiration.
- Session Storage: Data stored temporarily for the duration of a single browser session.
- Pixel Tags / Web Beacons: Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails used to track page views and email opens.
References to "cookies" in this policy encompass all of these technologies unless otherwise stated.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify our cookies into four categories based on their purpose:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Service to function. Without them, features such as account login, CSRF protection, and secure sessions would not work. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| XSRF-TOKEN | Cross-site request forgery protection token | 2 hours | First-party |
| Iamverse Investment_session | Manages your authenticated session, shopping cart, and preferences | 2 hours (or until browser close) | First-party |
| remember_web_* | Persistent login ("Remember Me" feature) | 5 years | First-party |
| laravel_token | API authentication token (encrypted) | Session | First-party |
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferred currency, country selection, or dashboard layout preferences. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not function correctly.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| locale | Stores your language/locale preference | 1 year | First-party |
| currency | Stores your selected currency (USD, GBP, CAD) | 1 year | First-party |
| cookie_consent | Records your cookie consent preferences | 1 year | First-party |
2.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service by collecting aggregated, anonymous usage data. This information helps us improve the platform's performance and user experience. These cookies are only set with your consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 — maintains session state | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 24 hours | Third-party (Google) |

2.4 Marketing / Advertising Cookies
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not serve targeted advertisements, share data with ad networks, or participate in programmatic advertising. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent before deploying any marketing cookies.
3. Your Cookie Choices
You have several options for managing cookies:
3.1 Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies currently stored on your device.
- Delete all or specific cookies.
- Block cookies from all sites or specific sites.
- Block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly, including account login and CSRF protection.
3.2 Google Analytics Opt-Out
If Google Analytics cookies are active, you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3.3 Do Not Track
There is no industry consensus on how to respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals. The Service currently does not respond to DNT signals. If a standard is established in the future, we will update this policy accordingly.
4. Legal Basis for Cookies
We rely on the following legal bases for setting cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Exempt from consent under the UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations), EU ePrivacy Directive, and equivalent Canadian and US frameworks, because they are essential for the Service to function.
- Functional Cookies: Set based on legitimate interest (enhancing your user experience). You may opt out via browser settings.
- Analytics Cookies: Set only with your prior consent, which you can withdraw at any time via browser settings or the Google Analytics Opt-out tool.
5. Data Sharing via Cookies
First-party cookies set by Iamverse Investment are not shared with third parties. Third-party cookies (such as Google Analytics) transmit data to the respective third-party provider, subject to that provider's privacy policy. We do not sell cookie data or use it for cross-site behavioral advertising.
6. Cookie Retention
Cookie retention periods vary by type:
- Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for the duration specified in the tables above, or until you manually delete them.
