Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your session, your preferences and — where you agree — to measure how the site is used. Similar technologies such as local storage serve the same purpose; this policy covers those too.

Cookies we use

• Strictly necessary: session and security cookies that keep you signed in, protect forms against cross-site request forgery and remember essential choices such as your currency. The Platform cannot function without them.
• Preferences: small settings such as dismissed announcements, list layout and recently viewed listings, stored so the site behaves consistently between visits.
• Analytics: aggregate, privacy-respecting measurements of listing views and search usage that help sellers understand interest in their business and help us improve the product. These do not build advertising profiles.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time; every mainstream browser offers per-site controls. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in or submitting forms. Where an optional category requires consent in your jurisdiction, the Platform will ask before setting it and will honour your choice.

Third parties

When you pay through a payment provider or view embedded maps, those providers may set their own cookies under their own policies. We link to external services rather than embedding them wherever that is practical, so third-party cookies on this site are kept to a minimum.

Updates

We review this policy whenever we change how the Platform uses cookies. The date of the current version is shown alongside this page, and material changes will be highlighted on the site before they take effect.
