Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 September 2026
This page explains which cookies are used on openyachtbid.com and openyachtrental.com ("the Site"), for what purpose, and for how long. No non-essential cookie is ever loaded without your explicit consent; you can change your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Preferences" link at the bottom of the Site/app.
1. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you use a site/app you visit; it helps the site recognise you and remember your preferences on later visits.
2. Necessary Cookies
Required for the site's/app's core functions (session security, your own cookie preference, language choice) and cannot be turned off. Examples: yb_consent (your cookie preference, 180 days), yb_lang (language preference), laravel_session and XSRF-TOKEN (session security, session duration).
3. Analytics Cookies
Loaded only if you accept the "Analytics" category; helps us measure site traffic and usage. Provider: Google LLC (Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager). Example cookies: _ga, _ga_<container-id> (roughly 2 years). If you do not consent, these cookies are never written.
4. Marketing Cookies
Loaded only if you accept the "Marketing" category; helps us measure ad performance and show you more relevant advertising. Provider: Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel). If you do not consent, this cookie is never written.
5. International Transfers
Our analytics and marketing providers (Google, Meta) may process data outside the European Economic Area. Such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the providers' own standard contractual clauses (SCCs).
6. Changing Your Preferences
You can change which categories you have accepted, or withdraw consent entirely, at any time via the "Cookie Preferences" link at the bottom of the Site/app. Changes apply immediately — turning off a category stops that category's cookies from being written again.
