6. **List of Cookies We Use**  
The following table provides examples of the cookies we may use. This list is updated regularly. You can find the current version at: [https://www.yappybuy.com/cookie-policy](https://yappybuy.com/cookie-policy)

- **CookieScriptConsent**  
  The CookieScriptConsent cookie is set when a user interacts with a cookie consent banner on a Webflow website. It tracks whether the user has accepted or rejected cookies, and possibly what types of cookies they've consented to.

- **wf-csrf**  
  The wf-csrf cookie in Webflow is used as a CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) token to prevent malicious attacks where an attacker tricks a user into performing unwanted actions on a website. This cookie helps ensure that a user's actions on a Webflow website are actually initiated by the user and not by a third-party.

- **wf-csrf.sig**  
  The wf-csrf.sig cookie in Webflow is used to ensure browsing security by preventing cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. It's an essential part of a Webflow website's security measures, working in conjunction with the wf-csrf cookie to validate form submissions and protect against malicious requests.

7. **Changes to This Policy**  
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The current version is always available at: [https://www.yappybuy.com/cookie-policy](https://yappybuy.com/cookie-policy)
