overview

these terms and conditions ("terms") govern your use of pleasebuy.me ("we", "our", or "us"), a marketplace platform where users can view and inquire about products for sale. by accessing or using our service, you agree to be bound by these terms.

we collect basic, cookie-less visit counters (e.g., homepage/shop views) for operational purposes under legitimate interests; this does not use cookies or store personal identifiers. you can adjust analytics (optional) cookie preferences anytime via the cookie settings control (bottom-right).

cookies summary

  • consent (analytics):we store your cookie preferences in an httpOnly cookie (pbm_consent), which typically expires after 365 days. when analytics is accepted, we may also set a non-httpOnly visitor id (pbm_vid) with the same lifetime to improve deduplication for operational counters. both are optional and tied to your consent.
  • functional device id (essential):for stable product likes and per-device unique product views, we use a strictly functional identifier (pbm_fid, httpOnly). it is not used for analytics or cross-site tracking and typically expires after 365 days.
  • contact form preferences:reply opt-in (pbm_reply_optin) is remembered for up to 30 days; age/parental self-attestation (pbm_age_attested) is remembered for up to 30 days. both are httpOnly, store only the respective on/off state, and are validated server-side.
