What cookies are
Cookies and similar browser storage help the site remember sessions, language preferences, cart state, consent choices, security signals, and product experience settings.
Cookie categories
- Strictly necessary: login sessions, admin sessions, cart state, security checks, rate limiting, and consent records.
- Preference: selected language, country rules, display settings, recently viewed items, and saved UI choices.
- Analytics: page performance, feature usage, search quality, auction engagement, and conversion reporting.
- Marketing: campaign attribution, commercial banner frequency caps, and advertising measurement where enabled.
Managing choices
Users can control non-essential cookies through the cookie consent tool where enabled and through browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent login, cart, checkout, bidding, seller tools, admin access, or fraud-protection features from working correctly.
Third-party services
Payment, shipping, analytics, maps, media, and email providers may set their own cookies or similar identifiers when their services are used. The site operator should list production providers before launch.
Updates
This policy should be reviewed whenever analytics, advertising, payment, chat, map, fraud, or media providers are added or changed.
