Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how the Platform is used.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies: Required for core functionality — session management, CSRF protection, login state. These cannot be disabled.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your choices (e.g., language, search filters).
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand usage patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected.
• Security Cookies: Detect and prevent fraudulent activity and unauthorised access.

3. Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party services (analytics providers, CDN providers) that set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies — please review the respective providers' privacy policies.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from using key features including login, bidding, and checkout. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies from the settings menu.

5. Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period (typically 30 days for preference cookies) to improve your experience on return visits.

6. Updates

This policy may be updated as we add new features or services. Continued use of the Platform after changes indicates your acceptance.
