Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 March 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how OraSpot uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our marketplace at oraspot.co.uk. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your choices regarding their use.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information about how their site is being used.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
RequiredThese cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of OraSpot. Without them, the site would not work properly. They include:
Session cookies: Keep you signed in as you navigate between pages
Authentication tokens: Securely verify your identity (JWT tokens)
Cookie consent: Remember your cookie preferences so we don't ask you again
Cart data: Remember items in your shopping cart between sessions
These cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the platform to function.
Functional Cookies
OptionalThese cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation:
Language and locale: Remember your preferred language and regional settings
Recently viewed: Track products you've recently viewed for easy access
Search preferences: Remember your filter and sorting preferences
Analytics Cookies
OptionalWe may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with OraSpot. This helps us improve the platform and provide a better shopping experience. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on OraSpot are set by third-party services that we use:
Stripe: Our payment processor may set cookies to process payments securely and prevent fraud. See Stripe's Cookie Policy
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session cookies
Temporary
Deleted when you close your browser
Persistent cookies
30 days - 12 months
Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
Consent preference
Indefinite
Stored in your browser's local storage until you clear it
Your Choices
When you first visit OraSpot, you will see a cookie consent banner giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by:
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect your ability to use OraSpot fully
Clearing local storage: You can clear your browser's local storage to reset your cookie consent preference, which will cause the banner to appear again
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, OraSpot uses browser local storage to store certain preferences and data on your device. Local storage works similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and does not have an expiration date. We use local storage for:
- Shopping cart contents (so your cart persists between visits)
- Cookie consent preferences
- UI preferences (e.g., sidebar state)
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our business practices. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
