Welcome to TheDeshi (operating at thedeshi.co.uk, hereafter referred to as the “Platform”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our marketplace. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which details how we handle your personal data.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by your web browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, keep your shopping cart updated, and provide analytics to the site owners.
We use cookies to ensure the core functionality of our marketplace, enhance your browsing experience, and analyze how our Platform is used. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into your account, or adding items to your shopping cart.
Consent requirement: Under UK law, we do not require your consent to place these cookies on your device.
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Platform. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how buyers and vendors move around the site.
Examples: Google Analytics.
Consent requirement: These are only placed with your consent.
These cookies enable the Platform to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages (e.g., customer support live chat). If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
Consent requirement: These are only placed with your consent.
These cookies may be set through our Platform by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites or social media platforms. They do not store direct personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Consent requirement: These are only placed with your consent.
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics, deliver advertisements, and facilitate payment processing.
Payment Processors: Services like Stripe or PayPal may use cookies to authenticate users and process payments securely.
Social Media: If you interact with social media widgets on our Platform, those networks may set their own tracking cookies.
Please note that we do not control the cookies set by third parties. We recommend checking the respective privacy and cookie policies of these external providers.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
Cookie Banner: When you first visit TheDeshi, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences.
Browser Settings: You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies entirely. If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies via your browser, you may still use our website, but access to some core functionality (like logging in or completing a purchase) will be heavily restricted.
Opt-Out Links: For specific analytics providers like Google Analytics, you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of tracking technologies.
