This Cookie Policy explains how CADELI LTD (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (www.cadeli.cy) and mobile application (iOS and Android platforms). It describes what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them in compliance with EU and Cyprus data protection laws.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) by a website or app when you visit or use it. They store limited information about your preferences, device, and previous interactions.
Cookies can be classified as:
- Session Cookies: Temporary, deleted when you close your browser or app
- Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted
They are also classified by origin:
- First-party Cookies: Set directly by CADELI
- Third-party Cookies: Set by external services (e.g., Google)
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
| Category | Purpose | Legal Basis |

| Performance / Analytics | Understand how users interact with our App or website (e.g., via Google Analytics or Firebase) | Art. 6(1)(a) – User consent |

3. Cookies We Use
Below is a list of the types of cookies that may be used on our platforms:
a. Essential Cookies (No Consent Required)

4. Mobile App Cookies / SDKs
In mobile applications, we use Software Development Kits (SDKs) which function similarly to cookies. These may collect:
- Device type and OS
- In-app actions (e.g., clicks, screen views)
- Crash reports and app diagnostics
Examples:
- Firebase SDK (Google LLC)
- Apple SDK (for iOS-specific services)
Where legally required, SDKs are only activated after user consent is given within the App.
5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to accept or reject cookies, except those strictly necessary for core functionality.
On the Website:
We use a Cookie Consent Banner that allows you to:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies
- Customize cookie settings
You can also manage your preferences via your browser settings:
- Chrome:
Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies - Safari:
Preferences > Privacy - Firefox:
Options > Privacy & Security - Edge:
Settings > Site permissions > Cookies
On the App:
Cookie-like SDK permissions can be managed through:
- App settings (if available)
- Device permissions (e.g., location access, analytics sharing)
You may also uninstall and reinstall the app to revoke SDK tokens.
6. How Long Cookies Are Stored
We retain cookies for different durations depending on their purpose:
| Type | Typical Retention |
|---|---|
| Session cookies | Until you close your browser or app |
| Persistent cookies | 1 to 12 months |
| SDK data | Retained as per SDK provider’s retention policy (usually 14–26 months unless anonymized sooner) |
We review cookie storage regularly to ensure compliance.

We may use the following third-party services that set cookies or use SDKs:
| Provider | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google LLC (Firebase/Analytics) | Analytics, Crash Reporting | Google Privacy Policy |
| Apple Inc. (iOS SDK) | App functionality, sign-in | Apple Privacy Policy |
All third-party services are reviewed to ensure GDPR and ePrivacy Directive compliance.
