Cookie Policy
This policy explains storage and tracking on the Marketplace Pro website, operated by Ventura Scaling Limited (company number NI722779). See our Privacy Policy for personal data and [email protected] for questions.
1. Your choice
Necessary storage remembers your choice. Analytics and advertising are optional and stay off unless you actively accept the relevant category. Accept all, Reject all and Manage choices are available in the banner. You can keep browsing and start signup after rejecting. lets you change or withdraw your choices at any time.
Choices apply to this browser on this website. Our account application and third-party pages may ask for their own choices; changing preferences here does not automatically change a separate website’s settings. Accepting our Terms is separate from advertising, analytics or email-marketing consent.
2. What these technologies do
Cookies are small browser files. Local storage stores information in the browser; pixels and tags can transmit information when a page or event is viewed. These controls cover optional storage and tracking technologies, not just cookies.
3. Necessary storage
| Name / provider | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
mp:consent:v1Marketplace Pro local storage | Remembers the categories you accepted or rejected, policy version and choice date. | 180 days from your choice; reset sooner after a relevant policy change. An expired record is disregarded and removed when the site checks it. |
We do not use this preference record to advertise to you. If browser storage is unavailable, the choice applies only to the current page and you may be asked again.
4. Optional providers and purposes
- Analytics — Google Analytics: understand visits and website use so we can improve the site.
- Advertising — Google Ads: measure advertising visits and build website-visitor audiences. Google Ads is enabled only where the production tracking configuration activates it and you have given advertising permission.
- Advertising — Meta: measure website visits and build Facebook/Instagram visitor audiences.
Production cookies: checks on marketplacepro.co.uk and www.marketplacepro.co.uk on 12 November 2026 observed _ga and _ga_QGSL56QPCY after analytics consent, and _gcl_au and _fbp after advertising consent. These cookies used the domain .marketplacepro.co.uk. No optional cookies were present before consent or after withdrawal in those checks. The production capture recorded cookie names and domains, not expiry dates.
_gcl_au supports Google advertising measurement. Google documents a 90-day lifetime for its _gcl_ cookies; this is provider documentation, not an expiry measured in our production capture.
Observed preview cookies: the following cookies appeared after Accept all in Chrome on 12 November 2026, on marketplacepro-website-preview.pages.dev. All used the domain .marketplacepro-website-preview.pages.dev and path /. All three were absent after Reject all.
| Cookie / purpose | Observed expiry |
|---|---|
_gaGoogle Analytics browser identification | 17 December 2027, 14:27:45 UTC — about 400 days after the observation |
_ga_QGSL56QPCYGoogle Analytics session measurement | 17 December 2027, 14:27:46 UTC — about 400 days after the observation |
_fbpMeta advertising measurement | 10 February 2027, 14:27:46 UTC — 90 days after the observation |
These are expiry dates observed in one preview browser, not universal provider lifetimes or verified production settings. Cookie expiry can change with browser rules, provider settings and subsequent activity. The clean-URL preview test did not observe _fbc or _gcl_*. The production check above subsequently observed _gcl_au. Exact production expiry settings, additional click-attribution cookies such as _fbc, and any third-party-domain cookies were not established by those captures. We will update this inventory when they are verified.
Where enabled with permission, these providers may receive your page URL, event, browser/device information, IP address and cookie identifiers, and may combine information with their own data. We do not send signup emails, payment-card details, passwords or Facebook login-screen activity as website analytics events.
Optional trial-event storage: the current direct-checkout website does not emit a completed-trial event from its static thank-you page. If a future verified trial-start integration is enabled, when a verified trial-start event is sent with the relevant analytics or advertising permission, Marketplace Pro may store mp:tracking:sent:v1 in this website’s browser local storage. It records event identifiers and destinations to avoid sending the same event twice. It holds at most 80 entries, replacing older entries as new ones are added. It has no fixed time expiry; it remains until replaced, cleared following withdrawal of optional permission, or removed through browser site-data controls. It is separate from the 180-day cookie-choice record and is not created merely by reading a policy page.
Meta referrer storage: lastExternalReferrer and lastExternalReferrerTime were observed in local storage after advertising consent. They cache referrer information for Meta. No expiry was established by this observation. Our withdrawal handling removes both entries; a deployed preview-browser check confirmed that both were present before withdrawal and absent afterwards. You can also remove them using your browser’s site-data controls.
5. Changing or withdrawing permission
Open Cookie preferences, then Reject all or switch off a category and Save choices. We stop authorising that category, remove recognised first-party Google/Meta cookies accessible on this site and reload the page to unload previously running tags. Withdrawal does not undo information already sent. Cookies on third-party domains cannot be deleted by this site; use your browser’s site-data controls and the providers’ privacy controls to remove or manage them.
We ask again after 180 days or when a changed purpose/provider requires fresh consent. Clearing browser data or using another browser also removes the remembered choice.
6. Checkout and other websites
Stripe-hosted checkout and subscription-management pages use their own payment and fraud-prevention technologies under Stripe’s policies. Facebook and Instagram are Meta’s platforms. These pages are separate from this website and this banner does not control their cookies.
