1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are compact text files placed onto your computer, tablet, or smartphone by website servers when you navigate internet pages. Cookies allow websites to remember user preferences, maintain active login sessions, secure shopping cart items across navigation clicks, and understand anonymous traffic behavior.
2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy
Essential / Strictly Necessary
Crucial for fundamental platform security, session management, CSRF token authentication, and WooCommerce shopping cart persistence. These cannot be disabled.
Functional & Preference
Remembers your selected currency (USD, EUR, UAH), regional localization preferences, and UI display settings to enhance your browsing experience.
Performance & Analytics
Anonymized telemetry (IP masking enabled) that evaluates page loading speeds, server response latency, and navigation pathways to help us optimize marketplace speed.
3. Third-Party Cookies & Payment Gateway Security
When you proceed through checkout, licensed financial payment gateways (such as Stripe, PayPal, or regional card processors) deploy encrypted security tokens strictly for fraud detection, 3D-Secure 2.0 verification, and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) laws. These tokens do not track browsing behavior outside the transaction funnel.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You maintain complete control over cookie storage on your device:
- Browser Controls: Most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, or block third-party tracking cookies altogether through your browser settings.
- Opting Out of Analytics: You can install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent data telemetry collection.
- Consequences of Disabling: Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent items from being added to the shopping cart and will disrupt checkout operations.
