Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how AuctionKhoj ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies on auctionkhoj.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit it. They allow the website, or third parties working with it, to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the website is used. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, web beacons and tags. In this policy we refer to all of them as "cookies" unless we say otherwise. Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies; cookies set by other companies, such as advertising and analytics providers, are called third-party cookies.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary cookies and storage
These are needed for the website to work properly, for example to remember your cookie consent choices, keep forms secure against spam and abuse, and balance traffic across our servers. They cannot be switched off through our consent banner, but you can block them in your browser, in which case some parts of the site may not work.
Local storage for favourites
When you save a listing as a favourite, the listing reference is stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. We do not receive or store this information on our servers. It stays on your device until you remove your favourites or clear your browser's site data.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are popular, how visitors arrive at the site and how long they stay. Google Analytics sets cookies (typically with names beginning with "_ga") that collect information in aggregated form. We use this information to improve our content and features. You can opt out of Google Analytics by declining analytics cookies in our consent banner or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising cookies
Our website is free because it is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense and may use other advertising networks and partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick (DART) cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the Internet. Advertising cookies are also used to limit how often you see an ad, measure the performance of ads and help prevent fraud.
Managing and Opting Out of Advertising Cookies
- You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com.
- You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
- Other ad partners may offer their own opt-out tools, which you can find in their privacy policies.
Opting out does not stop ads from appearing; it means the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests.
Your Consent
Where required, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies, such as analytics and advertising cookies, on your device. You can accept or reject these cookies through the consent banner shown on your first visit and change your mind at any time through the cookie settings link on the website, where available. Withdrawing consent will not affect cookies already used before you withdrew it, but it will stop further non-essential cookies from being set.
Controlling Cookies Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these options under "Settings", "Privacy" or "Site data". You can also clear local storage for our website to remove saved favourites. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and many other websites, and that your choices apply only to the browser and device you are using.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add new features or work with new advertising or analytics partners. Any changes will be posted on this page.
