Cookies and browser storage
Cookies are small values stored by your browser and sent to the relevant website. Browser storage can also keep preferences on your device. Signing in uses secure session cookies; we do not store your sign-in credentials in localStorage.
Essential storage
Sign-in, account security and requested preferences use essential browser storage. You can remove storage in your browser settings, but some functions will then reset or require a new sign-in.
Google Maps and address services
Marketplace maps connect to Google Maps automatically when there are locations to display. Address suggestions and address lookup also use Google Maps. Google may receive your IP address, browser information and map or address searches, and may use its own cookies or storage under its privacy policy. You can enter an address manually.

What about caching?
The browser may cache application files to load the site faster. The server also caches application data. Caching is separate from optional tracking and does not itself require a consent banner. The current frontend has no analytics or advertising consent category; adding such tools requires a fresh review and appropriate controls.
