Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how BidYourDay uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use the BidYourDay website and services.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on a user's device when the website is accessed. They allow the website to recognise a device and, depending on their purpose, can enable essential functions, remember preferences, measure website performance or provide other functionality.

Similar technologies, such as locally stored identifiers or technical storage mechanisms, may also be used where necessary for the operation or security of the website.

2. How BidYourDay Uses Cookies

BidYourDay aims to use only cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation of the website and, where applicable, limited statistical technologies configured to minimise the processing of personal data.

BidYourDay does not use cookies for behavioural advertising or commercial profiling of users.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Some cookies may be strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. These may include cookies used for:

user authentication and login sessions;
maintaining the security of the website;
maintaining session state;
enabling functions requested by the user;
preventing fraudulent or abusive activity;
remembering technical settings required for the service.

These cookies are used solely to provide a service explicitly requested by the user or to enable the technical operation and security of the website.

Where permitted by applicable law, strictly necessary cookies do not require the user's prior consent.

4. Statistical and Analytics Cookies

BidYourDay may use statistical and analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its performance and functionality.

Where analytics services are used, they are configured, where technically possible, to minimise the collection of personal data and to prevent the use of the information for behavioural advertising or cross-site profiling.

Where an analytics cookie or similar technology is not strictly necessary and applicable law requires consent, it will only be activated after the user has provided the required consent.

BidYourDay may use ShinyStat or another analytics service in a privacy-oriented configuration. The exact technologies active on the website may change over time as the website develops.

5. Third-Party Services

BidYourDay may contain links to or integrations with third-party services, including payment providers or external websites.

Third-party providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies when their services are accessed or embedded. Such technologies are controlled by the relevant third party and are subject to that provider's own privacy and cookie policies.

BidYourDay does not use third-party advertising cookies for behavioural advertising or commercial profiling.

6. Payment Services

Payments may be processed through external payment providers. When a user is redirected to or interacts directly with a third-party payment service, that provider may place or read cookies or use similar technologies according to its own policies.

BidYourDay does not control cookies placed directly by independent third-party payment providers.

7. Managing Cookies

Users can manage or disable cookies through the settings of their web browser.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the operation of BidYourDay, including login, account management and other essential functions.

Information about managing cookies is available from the main browser providers:

8. Consent and Withdrawal of Consent

Where applicable law requires consent before the use of non-essential cookies, BidYourDay will request that consent before activating the relevant technologies.

Where a consent mechanism is provided, users may withdraw or modify their consent at any time through the available cookie preference mechanism, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

9. International Users

BidYourDay is operated by a Data Controller established in Italy, within the European Union.

Cookie and similar-technology processing is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection and electronic communications legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), applicable Italian legislation and, where relevant, the laws applicable to users in other jurisdictions.

Where legally required, BidYourDay will apply the appropriate consent and disclosure requirements applicable to users in those jurisdictions.

10. Personal Data and Cookies

Depending on the type and configuration of a cookie or similar technology, information collected through it may constitute personal data.

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, it is processed in accordance with the BidYourDay Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

BidYourDay may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the technologies used, the services provided or applicable legislation.

The most recent version will always be made available on this page.
