Cookie policy
Draft to be validated by a lawyer before publication.
Last updated: 25 September 2026
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies Rovista uses and how you can manage them. To find out how we handle personal data, read our privacy policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser and that your browser sends back to the site on later visits. They are used, for example, to remember that you are signed in.
Cookies we use
We currently use only technical cookies that are strictly necessary for the service to work. They are all our own (first-party) cookies and, under the law, they do not require your consent.
| Name | What it does | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| rv_sid (__Host-rv_sid in production) | Keeps you signed in to your account. | Until you sign out. It expires after 2 hours of inactivity and in any case after 24 hours; if you choose “Remember me”, after 30 days. |
| rv_csrf | Protects the site's forms against forged requests coming from other sites (CSRF attacks). | Session: deleted when you close your browser. |
| rv_prefs | Remembers the country and currency you chose. | 1 year |
| rv_anon | Links the results to a search made without an account and, if a daily limit is active, counts searches. | 2 days |
| rv_ref | Remembers who invited you with an "Invite a friend" link, for the extended trial month. It is only set when you open an invitation link. | 30 days |
| rv_app | Remembers that you are using the Android app, to show pages in their app version. It is only set when you open the app. | 1 year |
Your language is not stored in a cookie: it is part of the page address.
Local storage in your browser
We use your browser's local storage to remember your preferred results view (grid or list) and your search filters. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our server. You can delete it by clearing the site's data in your browser settings.
Service worker and push notifications
The site uses a service worker (sw.js) only to show you push notifications, if you choose to turn them on. You can withdraw notification permission at any time in your browser settings.
External sites
We do not use third-party cookies on our site. However, when you open a listing on a marketplace, pay with Stripe or sign in with Google, you move to external sites that may use their own cookies under their own rules. In particular, when you click a link to eBay, eBay may set its own cookies related to the eBay Partner Network affiliate programme.
Analytics and advertising cookies in the future
In the future we may introduce analytics tools (Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode) and advertising (Google AdSense, with a TCF-certified consent management platform). We will turn them on only after collecting your consent, and we will update this page beforehand.
How to manage cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block technical cookies, some features will not work: for example, you will not be able to stay signed in to your account.
