Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognize you, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. This policy explains which cookies HeritageBids uses on heritagebids.com and auctions.heritagebids.com, and how you can control them.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential cookies
Required for the sites to function: they keep you signed in to your account on the auction platform, maintain your session while bidding, and secure form submissions. These cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality.

Functional cookies
Remember your preferences, such as staying signed in between visits, to make the site easier to use.

Analytics cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the sites, which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and how they found us, so we can improve. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by services we use: Stripe may set cookies during secure checkout for fraud prevention, and analytics providers set the measurement cookies described above. If you bid through LiveAuctioneers, cookies on that platform are governed by its own policy.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or block third-party cookies only. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent signing in and bidding on the auction platform.

5. Changes & Contact

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes; the current version is always available at this page. Questions: contact@heritagebids.com.
