Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 14 February, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Bidvers ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at www.bidvers.com. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

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

2. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

Essential Cookies

Technical cookies required for the auction platform to function (e.g., keeping you logged in during a live bid).

Performance & Functionality

To remember your preferences, such as your language or search filters.

Analytics

To understand how users move around the site so we can improve the bidding experience.

Advertising & Marketing

To serve relevant ads to you on other platforms (like Facebook or Google) after you leave our site.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

A. Essential Website Cookies

These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure bidding areas.

  • Provider: Bidvers
  • Purpose: Authentication and Security.

B. Analytics and Customization Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are.

  • Primary Tool: Google Analytics.
  • Data Collected: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on auctions.

C. Advertising (Third-Party) Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing and ensuring that ads are properly displayed based on your interests.

  • Google Ads (Remarketing): We use Google tags to show ads to users who have previously visited Bidvers. This helps us remind you of auctions you were interested in.
  • Facebook Pixel: This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions people take on our website. It helps us serve "Lookalike" audiences on Facebook.
  • Other Social Media Plug-ins: LinkedIn or Instagram tags may be used to track conversions from social media campaigns.

4. HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

  • Cookie Preference Manager: When you first visit Bidvers, a "Cookie Consent" banner will appear. You can customize your settings there.
  • Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject essential cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality (like placing live bids) may be restricted.

5. PIXELS AND WEB BEACONS

In addition to cookies, we may use "web beacons" or "pixels" (clear gifs). These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that allow us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us to monitor the traffic patterns of users and measure the success of our email marketing.

6. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed.
