Cookie & Tracking Policy

The site uses browser storage needed for functions such as authentication handoff, payment recovery, security, and remembering your cookie choice. Necessary storage is not controlled by the optional analytics setting because disabling it can prevent requested features from working.

Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager and PostHog website analytics are optional and default off. They load only after you allow analytics in Cookie Settings or choose Allow all optional. Choosing Reject optional or withdrawing permission keeps optional analytics disabled. PostHog receives public page paths without query strings; session replay is not enabled.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, this implementation keeps optional analytics off.

Meta Pixel 1654544276311743 defaults off and loads only after you allow optional marketing or choose Allow all optional. It measures public page views, property views and successful enquiries. Meta may use the _fbp and _fbc cookies for advertising attribution. Marketing permission is separate from analytics and email subscriptions.

With the same marketing permission, the Meta Conversions API measures successful new account signups through a server-side CompleteRegistration event. Hashed verified email and account identifiers, the creation time, a fixed signup-page URL, browser user agent and available _fbp/_fbc identifiers support matching and duplicate prevention. A temporary signup confirmation expires after five minutes. Existing sign-ins and post-auction buyer verification are not signup conversions. Rejecting marketing or Global Privacy Control prevents these optional requests.

When both analytics and the separate Google Ads measurement choice are allowed, Google can measure successful enquiries, email sign-ups, auction registration submissions and accepted bids for advertising. These events include a category and a sanitized page location, but no names, contact details, messages, bid amounts, funding information or documents. Google may use browser and advertising identifiers for attribution. The site disables automatic collection of personal details in its Google tag configuration.

Browser Pixel tracking excludes authentication, account, payment, verification and document routes. Automatic event detection is disabled, and we do not supply browser advanced-matching identifiers. The separate server signup event uses the hashed identifiers described above. Global Privacy Control keeps optional measurement off. Rejecting or withdrawing marketing permission revokes future optional Meta tracking and removes addressable _fbp and _fbc cookies. Information already sent cannot be retracted by changing this choice.

Open Cookie Settings from the footer at any time to manage analytics and marketing separately. Withdrawing analytics permission disables future collection in the current browser and removes the analytics script and first-party analytics cookies that the site can address.

Changing your choice cannot retract analytics information already sent before permission was withdrawn.

Clearing browser storage may cause the consent panel to appear again.

This policy is updated when tracking practices change. Review the effective date and use Cookie Settings to manage optional analytics and marketing in your current browser.
