2. What are Cookies?

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies on our Website:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas and using our escrow services. Without these cookies, the Website would not function properly. We do not require your consent to use these cookies.  
• Performance Cookies (Analytical Cookies): These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often and if users receive error messages. This data helps us improve the performance and usability of the Website. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor directly; all information is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use Google Analytics. We require your consent to use these cookies.  
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. We require your consent to use these cookies.  
• 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 and 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. We require your consent to use these cookies.
