What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies that may be stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. They can help a website operate securely, remember settings, understand how services are used, and, where permitted, support analytics, personalisation, or advertising.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, SDKs, or other identifiers that perform comparable functions.

Categories of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for functions necessary to provide the Site or a service you request. They may support security, authentication, session management, shopping-cart operation, fraud prevention, load balancing, or other essential technical functions. Where permitted by applicable law, these cookies do not require prior consent.

Preference Cookies

These cookies may remember optional choices such as language, currency, display preferences, or other settings. Where consent is legally required, they are used only after the required choice has been made.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with ALEFBA, identify technical or performance issues, and improve our services. Where applicable law requires consent, analytics cookies are used only after consent has been obtained. Certain audience-measurement technologies may qualify for an exemption only where the applicable legal conditions are satisfied.

Advertising and Personalisation Cookies

These cookies or similar technologies may be used to measure campaigns, personalise content or advertising, or support marketing activities. Where required by law, they are not used before valid consent is provided.

Consent and Your Choices

Where consent is required, ALEFBA seeks your choice before storing or accessing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device. You may accept or refuse non-essential cookies and, where available, change or withdraw your preferences later through ALEFBA's cookie settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Refusing non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the basic marketplace service, although some optional features may be unavailable or operate differently.

Third-Party Services

Some ALEFBA pages may rely on third-party services such as payment providers, analytics tools, embedded content, security services, customer-support tools, or other technology providers. Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies when their services are active.

Where a third-party technology is non-essential and requires consent, it should be activated only after the appropriate consent has been obtained. Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.

Cookie Duration

Some cookies are session cookies and expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Retention periods depend on the purpose of the cookie, the service involved, and applicable legal requirements.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies through their settings. Browser controls operate separately from ALEFBA's cookie preference tools. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from functioning correctly.

Personal Data and Cookies

Where information collected through cookies or similar technologies constitutes personal data, that processing is also subject to applicable data-protection law and our Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our services, technologies, providers, or legal obligations change. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
