How Marketempo Uses Cookies

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse usage patterns, and enable certain functionalities across the Marketempo marketplace. By understanding how and why we use cookies, you can make informed decisions about how you interact with our site and manage your preferences in a way that suits you.

When you visit Marketempo, cookies help us deliver a seamless online purchasing experience across categories such as electronics, fashion, home, and lifestyle. They support secure sign-in, keep items in your cart, and allow us to present relevant products and offers that align with your interests as a modern shopper.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device when you visit our site. These files contain information that allows our systems to recognise your browser over time and across pages, helping us remember your preferences and support key features of the shopping experience.

On Marketempo, cookies enable us to keep your browsing session consistent, maintain your shopping cart as you move between pages, and store helpful details such as preferred filters or recently viewed items. Together, these capabilities contribute to a smooth, convenient, and reliable journey from product discovery through to checkout.

Types of Cookies We Use

We utilise different categories of cookies to support a secure, high-performing, and personalised experience on Marketempo. These include essential, performance, functional, and targeting cookies.

• Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary for the core operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They support secure transactions, sign-in, account management, and key features such as maintaining items in your cart and processing orders.
• Performance cookies: Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use Marketempo, such as which pages are most frequently visited, how long shoppers stay on a page, and whether any errors occur. The insights from these cookies allow us to optimise layouts, load times, and navigation to keep the experience fast and reliable.
• Functional cookies: Functional cookies allow the site to remember your choices, such as language preferences, saved addresses, or preferred product views and filters. By storing these details, we can present a more consistent, intuitive experience every time you return.
• Targeting cookies: Targeting cookies are used to deliver content and offers that are more relevant to your interests. They can help us show personalised recommendations, highlight featured collections you are likely to enjoy, and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns aimed at Marketempo shoppers.

How We Use Cookies

Cookies play a central role in how we design and deliver the Marketempo shopping experience. They help us streamline navigation, expedite checkout, and present you with products and content that feel relevant and timely.

In practice, we use cookies to keep you signed in as you move between categories like electronics, fashion, home, and lifestyle, ensuring that items stay in your cart and wish lists remain available. Cookies also enable us to offer tailored product suggestions based on your browsing activity, searches, and purchase history, helping you discover new items and curated collections that match your interests.

Additionally, cookies support the consistent performance and security of our platform. By analysing aggregated usage data, we can identify and resolve issues, monitor for suspicious activity, and continuously refine the layout, imagery, and content to maintain a smooth, visually compelling shopping environment.

Managing Your Preferences

You have the option to manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to view the cookies stored on your device, delete existing cookies, block specific types of cookies, or configure alerts before new cookies are set.

Please be aware that disabling some cookies, particularly essential and certain functional cookies, may affect how Marketempo operates. Features such as secure sign-in, maintaining items in your cart, saving your preferences, and completing a fast, streamlined checkout may not function as intended if these cookies are restricted.

If you adjust your browser settings and later decide you would like to benefit from a more personalised experience again, you can revisit your settings to re-enable cookies. For more information about how we handle your personal information in connection with cookies and other technologies, you can review our Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to the cookies set directly by Marketempo, some cookies may be placed on your device by trusted third parties. These third-party cookies are typically used for analytics, advertising, or integrations with social media and other partner platforms.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our marketplace so we can refine navigation, categorisation, imagery, and content for a modern, intuitive experience. Advertising and marketing cookies may be used to deliver offers or campaigns that are more closely aligned with your interests and to measure how effective those campaigns are.

We only partner with reputable providers who are expected to handle your information responsibly and in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Where required, we take steps to ensure that these providers offer appropriate safeguards and limit the use of data collected via cookies to clearly defined purposes related to Marketempo.

Cookie Duration

Cookies used on Marketempo may be either session-based or persistent, depending on their purpose and how they support your shopping journey.

• Session cookies: Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They help us remember your actions during a single visit, such as keeping items in your cart while you move between pages and supporting secure navigation across key parts of the site.
• Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They allow us to remember your preferences, such as saved delivery details or display settings, and to recognise you when you return so we can provide a faster, more tailored experience.

The exact duration of each cookie varies based on its type and purpose. We aim to retain cookies only for as long as necessary to fulfil the functions described in this policy, support the security and performance of Marketempo, and meet any applicable legal or operational requirements.
