This Cookie Policy explains how Bidalize (Vorapure UK Ltd) uses cookies and similar technologies on bidalize.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences — for example, keeping you signed in as you move between pages.
The cookies we use
We keep this deliberately minimal. We use strictly necessary cookies to run the Service and to take payments. The only other cookies are Google Ads cookies, and only if you accept them in the banner. We use no analytics cookies and no remarketing.
| Type | Purpose | Needs consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication / session | Keeps you securely signed in and maintains your session while you use the app. Set by our authentication provider (Supabase). | No — strictly necessary |
| Security | Helps protect against fraudulent or unauthorised activity. | No — strictly necessary |
| Preferences | Remembers basic in-app choices so the interface behaves as you expect. On this website, your browser's local storage remembers that you closed the tester message at the top of the page, so it stays closed. It is not sent to us. | No — strictly necessary |
| Payment (Paddle) | When you open the checkout in the app, or arrive at bidalize.com/billing from an email about a payment, a script from Paddle, our payment provider, loads so the secure payment form can open. Paddle may store cookies or similar data in your browser to run the form and to prevent fraud. No other page of this website loads it. | No — needed for the payment form you asked to use |
| Advertising measurement (Google Ads) | Only if you press Accept in the cookie banner. Google's tag records that you came from one of our ads and, if you then sign up in the app, that a sign-up happened, so we can see which ads work. Remarketing is switched off, so it is not used to follow you with our ads. Your answer is kept for 180 days in a cookie named bdl_consent on bidalize.com, so the app can respect it too. Change your mind any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of each page. | Yes — we ask first, and set nothing if you say no |
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Google Ads cookies are not, so we ask first and set none unless you accept. If we add anything else that is not strictly necessary, we will ask first and update this policy.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you from signing in and using the app, since they are required for it to function.
Changes
We will update this policy if our use of cookies changes, and post the new version here.
