Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how ValueAPI ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website (valueapi.ai) and use our dashboard and services. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
2. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, ValueAPI) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., payment processing, interactive content, and analytics).
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website and dashboard to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our properties.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
- Authentication: We use secure tokens (such as JWTs stored in HTTP-only cookies or local storage) to keep you logged into your dashboard, manage your session, and secure your account settings.
- Security: Cookies help us prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, detect fraudulent activity during sign-up or login, and ensure the integrity of our API routing layer.
Performance and Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
- Preferences: We may use local storage or cookies to remember your theme preference (light/dark mode), selected programming language in documentation, or UI state.
Analytics and Customization Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.
5. Third-Party Cookies
When you use our platform, certain trusted third-party service providers may also set cookies on your device:
- Payment Processors (e.g., Stripe): When you add funds to your wallet, our payment processor uses cookies to process payments securely, remember your checkout session, and prevent fraud.
- Infrastructure & Security Providers: Our edge network and CDN providers may set cookies to support security features like bot management, load balancing, and DDoS protection.
6. How Can I Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser.
Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, but your access to some functionality and areas of our website (such as the logged-in dashboard) will be severely restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
Do Not Track: Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit "Do Not Track" or "DNT" signals. Since uniform standards for "DNT" signals have not been adopted, our website does not currently process or respond to "DNT" signals.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
