Cookie policy
This policy describes the cookies and similar technologies used by Tavela (tavela.lt). How we process personal data is explained in the privacy policy.

4. Shop panel
These cookies and entries are used only in the shop panel (/panel) and only for shop users who sign in or register. The staff administration interface of Tavela uses equivalent cookies. We do not ask for consent for them: the session, protection and registration cookies are strictly necessary, and panel_locale, panel_shop and form drafts only remember settings you chose yourself.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__Host-sid | cookie | Sign-in session | up to 24 hours (ends after 60 minutes of inactivity) |
__Host-csrf | cookie | Protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) | 24 hours |
__Secure-tavela_signup | cookie | Lets you continue after registration without signing in again | up to 24 hours, single use |
panel_locale | cookie | Panel language | 1 year |
panel_shop | cookie | Selected shop | 1 year |
__Host-asid, __Host-acsrf, admin_locale, admin_market | cookies | Only for the Tavela staff administration interface: session, protection, language, market | session up to 8 hours; settings 1 year |
panel_connect_draft | localStorage | Draft of the “Connect shop” form (no login details or passwords) | 24 hours |
panel_signup_email | sessionStorage | E-mail address from registration, to fill in the sign-in field | until the tab is closed |
panel_connect_prefill | sessionStorage | Parameters of an invitation link, to fill in the “Connect shop” form | until the tab is closed |
5. Third-party content
Some product images are loaded directly from the servers of shops. These servers receive your IP address and browser information and, depending on their settings, may set their own cookies; the shop concerned is responsible for them. When you go to a shop’s website, the shop’s own cookie policy applies there.
6. Cookies of affiliate networks
When you go to a shop through an affiliate link (the offer is labelled “Affiliate link”), your browser first opens the affiliate network’s link, and the network immediately redirects you to the shop. The network and the shop may set cookies or similar identifiers on their own websites to attribute the purchase to Tavela and calculate our commission.
| Set by | Where | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affiliate network | on the network’s website | Remembers that you came to the shop through Tavela’s affiliate link | under the rules of the network and the affiliate programme (e.g. 30 days) |
| Shop | on the shop’s website | Attributes the purchase to the affiliate network and to Tavela | under the shop’s rules |
These cookies are not set on Tavela, so the “Cookie settings” link does not control them: the visit is marked regardless of your choice in the cookie banner. The network and the shop are responsible for these cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies. If you do not want the visit to be marked, open the shop’s website directly, not through Tavela; you can delete cookies already set in your browser settings. For health-related products (e.g. contact lenses) we do not use affiliate links. More in the privacy policy.
7. How to give, change or withdraw consent
- On your first visit, a banner at the bottom of the page offers two equal buttons – “Accept” and “Reject”. Until you choose, no analytics cookies are set.
- You can change your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of each page (or with the button on this page). When you withdraw consent, the
_gacookies are deleted and the page reloads. - Consent is valid for 12 months; after that, and if the purposes or recipients of analytics change, we will ask you again.
- You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you delete
tvl_consent, we will ask for your consent again. - If there is no “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the page, analytics cookies are currently not used and we do not ask for consent.
- Your consent or refusal applies only to Tavela’s analytics cookies; it does not affect the marking of visits to shops (section 6).
