It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices, particularly in compliance with UK data protection regulations such as the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

How Martspot Ltd Uses Cookies

We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are essential for technical reasons, to allow our website to operate, and we refer to these as “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties also serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

Types of Cookies We Use

The specific types of cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse our website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, using the shopping cart, and making secure payments. Without these cookies, services like adding items to your basket and proceeding to checkout cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Your consent is not required for these cookies as they are fundamental to the operation of the website.
  • Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works. We use Google Analytics for this purpose, which helps us understand website traffic and usage patterns. We will only use these cookies with your explicit consent.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, remembering your preferences for future visits. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. We will only use these cookies with your explicit consent.
  • Targeting & Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. For example, we might use cookies provided by Google to display relevant ads. We will only use these cookies with your explicit consent.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be placed on your device by third parties when you visit our website. These third-party cookies are set by domains other than Martspot Ltd. We use third-party tools like Google Pay and Stripe for payments, and these services may set their own cookies to facilitate their operations, such as ensuring secure transactions. We also use third-party services like Google Analytics for website analysis and advertising networks that may set cookies. We do not have control over these third-party cookies, and you should refer to the respective third-party’s privacy and cookie policies for more information.
