1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your experience. We also use similar technologies like local storage and tracking pixels.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to make the website work properly (search bar, map, filters), remember your preferences (search radius, postcode), understand how people use the site (analytics), and improve speed and performance.
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to function. Without them, features like the search box and map will not work properly. You cannot disable these cookies.
3.2 Performance & analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the website. These cookies collect anonymous data such as which pages you visit, how long you stay, and where you came from.
3.3 Functionality cookies
These remember your preferences (for example, your last searched postcode or radius) so you don’t have to set them every time.
3.4 Advertising cookies
If and when we display ads or run social campaigns, we may use Google AdSense and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel. These can set cookies to serve and measure ads. You can opt out of personalised Google ads via Google Ad Settings, and manage Meta’s tracking in your Facebook ad preferences.
4. Third-party cookies
- Google Analytics 4 — helps us see how people find and use car boot sales.
- Cloudflare — security and performance.
- Leaflet map & OpenStreetMap/CARTO tiles — for smooth interactive maps.
- Google AdSense / Meta Pixel — only if advertising is active.
5. How to control or delete cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings — block or delete cookies, or set preferences for specific websites. Most browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari) explain how in their help pages.
Note: if you block cookies, some features (especially the map and search) may not work properly.
6. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here with the updated date.
