Cookies Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device — your computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and generally improve your experience.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies including web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and mobile device identifiers. This Policy covers all such technologies and refers to them collectively as ‘cookies’.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: essential for the Platform to function. They enable core features such as account login, session management, payment processing, and security. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your ability to use the Platform, and they do not require your consent.
• Functional Cookies: allow us to remember your preferences and settings — for example, your saved searches, language preferences, or display choices — so that your experience feels personalised each time you return. They are activated only with your consent.
• Analytics Cookies: collect information about how users interact with the Platform, such as which pages are most visited, how long users spend on each page, and what search terms they use. We use this in aggregated, anonymised form to understand performance and improve our services (for example, via Google Analytics). Activated only with your consent.
• Marketing and Profiling Cookies: track your browsing behaviour across our Platform and, in some cases, across third-party websites, to build a profile of your interests and deliver relevant advertising. This is the most privacy-intrusive category and is deployed only following your explicit, informed, and freely given consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
• Third-Party Cookies: some pages may include embedded content or tools provided by third parties — for example, social media sharing buttons or embedded maps — which may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by the respective third party’s own cookie or privacy policy, which we recommend you review before interacting with embedded content.

3. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our Platform, a cookie consent banner is displayed. It gives you meaningful choices: you may accept all categories of cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customise your preferences for each individual category. Strictly necessary cookies are always active and do not require your consent.

Continuing to browse the Platform without interacting with the consent banner does not constitute consent to the use of non-essential cookies. Consent is recorded and can be updated at any time.

You may change your cookie preferences at any time using the ‘Cookie Settings’ link in the footer of our Platform. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before withdrawal.

4. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

In addition to our on-Platform consent tool, most browsers allow you to manage cookies directly through browser settings. You can typically refuse all cookies, delete cookies that have already been set, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored. The method varies by browser; please consult your browser’s help documentation for guidance.

Please note that disabling certain categories of cookies may impair the functionality of the Platform. In particular, disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or completing transactions.
