Cookie Policy
Last update: 10 November 20261. Strictly necessary (first-party)
This English text is a translation provided for convenience. If it differs from the Greek text, the Greek text prevails.
These are needed for the Platform to work (login, security, basic preferences) and are not used for advertising.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
cars_session | Login / user session & CSRF protection | Up to 30 days (rolling) |
theme | Your light/dark theme choice | 1 year |
locale | Your language choice | 1 year |
compare_ids | The “compare basket” (up to 3 listings) | 14 days |
recent_ids | Listings you viewed recently | 30 days |
We also use local storage (localStorage) for small interface preferences — e.g. closing an announcement, not asking you for a rating again too soon, or your choice about analytics cookies. These stay on your device and are not sent to us.
2. Statistics & advertising (third-party)
- Google Analytics: traffic statistics on the public pages, only if you click “Accept” in the cookie message. Until then it is not loaded and stores no cookies. We use it for statistics only, with no advertising use of the data.
- Google AdSense: displays advertisements. Google may use cookies for personalisation. More: Google Cookies Policy · Google ad settings.
These cookies are not loaded on private pages (e.g. the dashboard, messages).
3. Payments (Stripe)
When you make a payment, you are taken to Stripe’s payment page, which sets its own cookies for transaction security and fraud prevention. These are governed by Stripe’s policy.
4. How to manage them
- For analytics cookies, change your choice at any time from the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the page. If you click “Reject”, Google Analytics stops and its cookies (
_ga) are deleted. - You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Strictly necessary cookies are required for login and basic functions — without them the Platform may not work properly.
- For Google advertising, use AdSettings or YourOnlineChoices.
