- Essential Cookies — “Essential Cookies” are critical to supporting the Flea Market services’ intended functionality.

Preference Cookies on the Flea Market services may store info like your selected language and geographic region to help us show you appropriate options and display content accordingly when you return to the Flea Market services. For example, by remembering your region and language, the Flea Market services may be able to provide you with local articles or schedules for upcoming events in your area, and do so in your local language. We may also use Preference Cookies to capture your preferred audio and visual settings (such as, text size, font, resolution, etc.), reference websites, the sequence of pages within the Flea Market services that you visit, and other similar details about your browsing behaviour and choices about how the Flea Market services behave or look.

- Analytics & Performance Cookies — “Analytics & Performance Cookies” collect info about your interactions with the Flea Market services, which helps us to monitor and improve the services we offer.

For example, we use third-party analytics providers like Google Analytics to help evaluate and report on use of the Flea Market services. These companies may set and read their own tracking technologies to gather info about your online activities across websites and services. Some analytics providers offer you choices about how they collect and use data directly on their websites.
- Advertising Cookies — “Advertising cookies” use info about your visit to the Flea Market services and your use of them to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off the Flea Market services. These types of ads are called “Interest-Based Advertising.” We sometimes work with third-party partners that set their own cookies or similar tracking technologies on the Flea Market services to help them provide requested services on our or your behalf. For example, our advertising partners may use tracking technologies to help serve you ads better tailored to the interests you’ve shown by browsing the Flea Market services (or by visiting other online services operated by third parties), determine whether you’ve seen a particular advertisement before (to prevent showing you duplicate ones), and for other lawful business purposes. Note that how third parties use tracking technologies falls under their own privacy policies, not ours.

III. OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
As well as cookies other identification technologies may be use or permitted on the Flea Market services. This may include one or more of the following listed below:
- Pixel tags — “Pixel tags” (also called beacons or pixels) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a webpage, app, or ads which can retrieve certain info about your device and browser, including for example: device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, and other similar info, including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device. Pixels provide the means by which third parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect info about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner.
- Local storage — “Local storage” refers generally to other places on a browser or device where info can be stored by websites, ads, or third parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache).
- Software Development Kits — “Software Development Kits” (also called SDKs) function like pixels and cookies, but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The primary app developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) from partners in the app, and thereby allow the partner to collect certain info about your interaction with the app and info about your device and network.
- IP address — “IP address” is the short form for Internet Protocol address, which is assigned by Internet Access Providers to every computer that is connected to the Internet. Website owners have access to IP addresses of their users. By IP addresses website owners can identify the country, state, and city from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. IP addresses are inter alia used for "IP geolocation" purposes, e.g. by Google Analytics.
