Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026. This policy explains the cookies and similar browser technologies BuyThis.ie uses, why we use them and how you can manage your choices.
1. Necessary technologies
BuyThis.ie uses technologies required for sign-in, session security, essential preferences and recording your cookie choices. Stripe also uses necessary technologies on its own checkout when you deliberately start a payment.
2. Analytics
With your consent, BuyThis.ie loads Google Analytics 4 to understand marketplace usage. Analytics remains off unless you enable the Analytics category and can be withdrawn at any time.
3. Advertising
With your consent, BuyThis.ie may load Google AdSense to display and measure advertising. AdSense remains off unless you enable the Advertising category. We do not load AdSense before that choice.
4. Your choices
Optional technologies are switched off by default. You can allow analytics and advertising separately, reject both, or change your choices at any time in Cookie Settings. Withdrawing consent stops the corresponding optional technology from being enabled by BuyThis.ie going forward.
