Cookie Policy
What cookies SeaBuddy uses and how you can control them.
Last updated: June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how SeaBuddy Classic Boats For Sale uses them, and the choices available to you. By continuing to use our website you consent to the use of cookies as described here. For broader information about how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or install malware.
Alongside traditional browser cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies".
2. Essential Session and Authentication Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as logging in, maintaining your session across pages, and remembering items saved in your shortlist. Without them, the services you have requested — such as account access and messaging — cannot be provided.
Because they are essential, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie controls. They are always set when you use the site and expire at the end of your browser session unless you choose "keep me logged in", in which case a longer-lived authentication token is stored.
3. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with SeaBuddy — which pages are most popular, how long users spend browsing, and where they navigate from. This data is aggregated and anonymised; it is not used to identify you individually.
We use a self-hosted first-party analytics solution which means your browsing data does not leave our infrastructure and is not shared with advertising networks or data brokers. You can opt out of analytics cookies at any time without affecting your ability to use the site.
4. Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience on return visits. On SeaBuddy these include your chosen boat category filters, preferred currency display, results sort order, and whether you have dismissed informational banners.
These cookies are optional. If you decline them or clear them through your browser, the site will still function correctly but you will need to reapply your preferences on each visit.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Browser settings — all modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser and version.
- Account settings — logged-in users can manage analytics and preference cookie consent from the Privacy section of their account settings page.
- Private or incognito mode — using your browser in private mode prevents cookies from being stored after the session ends, effectively limiting tracking to the duration of that browsing session.
Please note that blocking all cookies, including essential ones, will prevent login and other key features from working.
6. Third Party Cookies
SeaBuddy does not embed third party advertising or social media tracking pixels. However, if a listing page contains an embedded map or video preview provided by a third party service, that service may set its own cookies when the content is loaded. We have no control over those cookies and they are governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies.
We do not share cookie data collected on our site with Brevo or any other email marketing platform. Brevo only receives the minimum data necessary to deliver emails you have explicitly opted into.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new features, change our service providers, or in response to changes in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Where changes are material, we will display a notice on the site or notify you by email.
