Types of Cookie Technologies

We use several similar technologies that help our platform function and understand how users interact with our services.

Cookies

Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit our website. There are three primary types we use:

• Session cookies — Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They carry information between pages so you don't need to re-enter data and help maintain your shopping session.
• Persistent cookies — Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences and recognize you when you return to our platform.
• Third-party cookies — Placed by services we use (such as analytics and advertising partners). These may track browsing activity across multiple websites.

Other Technologies

• Web beacons — Tiny invisible graphics embedded in pages and emails that help us understand user behavior and email engagement.
• UTM codes — Parameters added to URLs that help us track the source of traffic and the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

Purposes of Cookies

We use cookie technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, to understand your purchasing interests, to personalize your experience, and to improve our services.

Security and Authentication (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are essential for our platform to function. They maintain the security and integrity of our website, enable account authentication, remember your consent preferences, and ensure secure transaction processing. The platform cannot operate without these cookies.

Account and User Preferences

These technologies remember your preferences — such as keeping you logged in, remembering your language and country settings, and customizing content based on your interactions with the platform.

Performance and Analytics

We use analytics technologies to understand how our platform is used, to improve performance and user experience, and to detect and resolve bugs. This includes:

• Google Analytics — for website usage analytics
• Platform analytics — for buyer and supplier behavior insights
• Error tracking — for identifying and resolving technical issues
