For instance, this data helps us better understand how users are finding information and which areas of the site or app are most helpful. This way we can evaluate Site and app performance and functionality to continuously develop, customise, and improve our services and offerings.
Advertising: These cookies are needed to enable Bazaar Express online advertisements published on our partners' websites can be tailored to your personal interests (Behavioural Advertising). These types of cookies also limit the number of times that you see an ad and help us measure the effectiveness of our online marketing campaigns. We use cookies to help us identify and retarget users who have already taken an interest in our products both on our Site and on third-party websites. For example, we use proprietary technology to specifically target users by creating advertising material that is based on the users' previous behavior and interests. Interest-based ads are displayed based on information about your activities, such as searching or purchasing a product on the website or app, visiting websites that contain our content or ads, or interacting with our tools. We do this using various digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, as well as specific services offered by some websites and social networks, such as Facebook.

Web beacons are small GIF files that can be hidden in other graphics, emails, or similar.

Social Media Plugins

The Site and the App use social plugins, which allow you to interact with us through your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media accounts. If you visit a page of our Site or App that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to that social media's webservers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by the social media site directly to your browser and incorporated by the social media site into the Site or App. By integrating the plugins, the social media site receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our Site or App, even if you do not have an account or are currently not logged in to your account. We have no control over the extent and use of information that the social media site collects using this plugin.

If you interact with a social media plugin by, for example, clicking a "Like" button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to the social media server and stored there. Depending on your settings, the information will also be posted on the social media site and displayed to your contacts or friends on the social media site. The social media site may use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research and tailor-made pages.
