What these tools do
Cookies are small values stored by your browser and sent to the relevant website. Local storage stays in that browser until it is removed; session storage is tied to the browser tab. LotVanta uses necessary storage for account access and transaction continuity.
Sign-in cookie
auction_refresh is set by the API when you sign in on the web. It supports session refresh, uses HttpOnly and SameSite=Strict, and is scoped to /auth. Its configured maximum age is 30 days; it is rotated during refresh and cleared on logout. Secure is enabled outside local development.
Device and payment storage
auction-ng-device is a local-storage device identifier used for account session security. It remains until removed or replaced. auction-ng-pending-payment is session storage used to recover a funding flow; the application clears it after completion, and the browser normally clears session storage when its tab session ends.
Staff sign-in storage
The staff website uses auction_staff_refresh, a separate HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict cookie scoped to /auth/staff. Staff sessions expire after eight hours, refresh credentials rotate, and logout clears the cookie. Secure is enabled outside local development. auction-ng-staff-device is a local-storage identifier used to bind the staff session to its browser. Staff sign-in requires a password and an authenticator code.
Remembering this notice
auction-ng-cookie-notice records the notice version and acknowledgement time in local storage. The notice is shown again after 180 days or if the saved value is missing, invalid or out of date. This acknowledgement is not consent to advertising or analytics.
Optional tracking
No optional advertising or analytics trackers are enabled in the current application. There are no optional categories to turn on in Cookie settings. If optional tracking is introduced, it must have an appropriate choice and remain off until any required consent is given.
Managing storage
Open Cookie settings on a policy page to review this information at any time. You can delete or block site storage using your browser controls; doing so may sign you out, interrupt payment recovery or cause this notice to reappear. Blocking optional tracking does not require removing necessary sign-in storage.
Other websites
Paystack checkout, app stores and other linked websites have their own cookies and privacy notices. Opening those services is separate from acknowledging LotVanta’s necessary-storage notice.
