Cookie policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them.

They can be used for a variety of purposes, including keeping you signed in, remembering preferences, maintaining website security and helping website owners understand how their services are being used.

Some cookies are necessary for a website to function correctly, while others are optional.

2. How TICK Uses Cookies

TICK may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• operate and secure the platform;
• allow users to sign in and remain signed in;
• remember user preferences;
• provide collector and dealer account functionality;
• manage subscriptions and payments;
• understand how visitors use TICK;
• measure website performance;
• improve the platform; and
• remember your cookie preferences.

The cookies used may change as TICK and its features develop.

3. Necessary Cookies

Some cookies are required for TICK to operate correctly.

These may be used for purposes such as:

• account authentication;
• maintaining user sessions;
• website security;
• fraud prevention;
• remembering privacy or cookie choices; and
• providing functionality specifically requested by a user.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website or service, they do not generally require consent.

Disabling necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of TICK from functioning correctly.

4. Analytics Cookies

TICK may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with the platform.

Analytics information may help us understand things such as:

• which pages are visited;
• how visitors arrive at TICK;
• how users navigate the platform;
• which features are used;
• approximate session duration; and
• technical information about devices and browsers.

Where required by law, analytics cookies will only be used after you have provided consent.

Analytics information is used to understand and improve TICK rather than identify individual users unnecessarily.

5. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may be used to remember choices you make and provide enhanced functionality.

For example, these may help remember certain account, display or platform preferences.

Whether consent is required will depend on the purpose and nature of the cookie.

6. Payment and Subscription Services

TICK may use third-party payment providers, such as Stripe, to process dealer subscriptions.

These providers may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:

• processing payments;
• preventing fraud;
• maintaining security; and
• providing payment functionality.

Third-party providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

7. Third-Party Services

TICK may integrate services provided by third parties.

Depending on the services enabled, these providers may place cookies or use similar technologies on your device.

Examples may include:

• analytics services;
• payment providers;
• security services;
• embedded content; and
• other functionality used to operate TICK.

Where non-essential third-party cookies require consent, they should not be activated until that consent has been provided.

8. Cookie Consent

When required, TICK will provide a cookie consent mechanism allowing you to choose whether certain non-essential cookies can be used.

Necessary cookies may operate without consent where they are required for the website or a service you have requested to function.

You can change or withdraw your consent to optional cookies using the cookie controls made available on TICK.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings.

You can choose to block some or all cookies, although doing so may affect the functionality of TICK and other websites.

Browser controls operate separately from any cookie consent controls provided by TICK.

10. How Long Cookies Remain

Cookies may be either:

Session cookies — which generally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies — which remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

The lifespan of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the service that provides them.

Where a cookie consent platform is provided, more detailed information about individual cookies and their duration may be available through those controls.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy where the cookies or technologies used by TICK change or where legal requirements develop.

The latest version will be published on TICK and the date at the top of this page will show when it was last updated.
