This Cookie Policy explains how KOTLYARS uses cookies and similar technologies to operate its international marketplace and auction platform, improve user experience, protect platform security, and, where permitted, analyse website performance and usage.
KOTLYARS respects user privacy and provides clear choices regarding the use of non-essential cookies in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy legislation.
This Policy applies to the KOTLYARS website and digital services that reference this document. It supplements the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and protected.
- Scope. This Cookie Policy applies to all KOTLYARS websites, online services, and digital platforms that link to or reference this Policy.
- What Cookies Are. Cookies are small text files stored on a user's device by a website. They help operate the platform, maintain security, remember preferences, improve functionality, and, where appropriate, analyse website usage. Similar technologies such as local storage, tracking pixels, tags, and comparable tools are collectively referred to in this Policy as "cookies."
- Cookie Categories. KOTLYARS may use several categories of cookies, including:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies – required for website operation, authentication, security, session management, network delivery, and storing user preferences.
- Functional Cookies – used to remember language preferences, regional settings, and personalised user options.
- Analytics Cookies – used to measure website performance, understand visitor behaviour, and improve platform functionality.
- Marketing Cookies – used, where applicable, for advertising measurement and personalisation.
- Security Cookies – used to detect abuse, prevent fraud, protect accounts, and maintain platform integrity.
- Third-Party Cookies. Certain website functions may be provided by trusted third-party service providers, including analytics platforms, fraud prevention services, video providers, mapping services, or technical infrastructure providers. These providers may place cookies only in accordance with the user's consent choices and applicable legal requirements. Their processing activities remain subject to their own privacy policies.
- Consent and User Choice. During the first visit to the website, users are provided with clear options to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage individual cookie categories. Strictly necessary cookies may operate without separate consent where permitted by applicable law. Analytics, functional personalisation, and marketing cookies are activated only where valid user consent has been obtained, if legally required.
- Changing or Withdrawing Consent. Users may modify or withdraw their cookie preferences at any time through the permanent Cookie Settings link available on the website. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing lawfully carried out before consent was withdrawn. Following updated preferences, non-essential cookies should no longer be used unless otherwise permitted by law.
- Cookie Duration. Session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain on the user's device until their specified expiration date or until manually deleted. Where applicable, Cookie Settings should identify each cookie's name, provider, purpose, and retention period.
- Browser Controls. Most web browsers allow users to review, block, restrict, or delete cookies through browser privacy settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality, including user authentication, security features, and saved preferences.
- Personal Data. Certain cookies may process personal information including IP addresses, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, session information, and user interactions. Any personal data collected through cookies is processed in accordance with the KOTLYARS Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation.
- Policy Updates. KOTLYARS may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, platform functionality, or third-party service providers. Updated versions will be published with a revised Effective Date. Where required, users may be asked to renew or update their cookie preferences.
- Contact. Questions regarding cookies, consent preferences, or personal data processing may be submitted to KOTLYARS through the Contact page.
Website Settings Requirement. The KOTLYARS website should provide users with equally prominent Accept All and Reject Non-Essential options, category-level consent controls, and a permanent Cookie Settings link allowing users to review, modify, or withdraw their consent at any time.
By continuing to use the KOTLYARS platform, users acknowledge that strictly necessary cookies may be used for the operation and security of the website, while all other cookies are managed according to the user's consent choices and applicable legal requirements.
