What cookies we use and how to control them
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and give us a basic understanding of how the platform is used. Some cookies are set by Vendor Stocks directly, while others are set by trusted third-party services we rely on, such as payment gateways and analytics providers.
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled.

These cookies help us understand how buyers and sellers interact with Vendor Stocks, which features are most used, and where users encounter problems. This information is used exclusively to improve the platform. Data is anonymised where possible.
These cookies remember your choices and preferences to provide a smoother experience:
We do not use cookies to monitor what specific products buyers purchase or the prices at which sellers transact. Commercial details exchanged between buyers and sellers are not collected through cookies.
We use the following third-party services that may set their own cookies:
These third parties are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control the cookies they set and recommend you review their policies on their respective websites.
When you first visit vendorstocks.com, you will see a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in our website footer.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close the browser. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent Vendor Stocks from functioning correctly — login, cart, and payment features may stop working.
Session cookies are removed automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them, and are kept only as long as necessary for the purpose they were set.
Vendor Stocks is intended for use by businesses and adult consumers. The platform is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from minors through cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of contractual necessity and legitimate interest under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). Analytics and functional cookies are placed only with your consent.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our practices, or applicable law. The latest version will always be available on vendorstocks.com, with the effective date shown at the top. We will notify you of any material changes and obtain fresh consent where required.
