3. Your Choices
Cookie consent banner
When you first visit Auctioneer, a cookie consent banner gives you three options:
- •Accept All — enables strictly necessary, functional, and analytics cookies
- •Essential Only — enables only strictly necessary cookies
- •Manage Preferences — lets you toggle each cookie category individually
You can change your preferences at any time from the cookie settings link in the site footer.
Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in and using the platform.
4. Third-Party Cookies
When you make a payment, you are redirected to our licensed payment processor’s payment page. The payment processor may set its own cookies on that page to process your transaction securely. These cookies are governed by the payment processor’s own privacy and cookie policies — Auctioneer does not control them.
Apart from the payment processor’s payment page, no third-party service sets cookies through the Auctioneer platform.
5. Changes to This Policy
If we update this Cookie Policy, we will reset your consent preferences and display the cookie consent banner again so you can make an informed choice based on the updated policy.
