Last updated: 17 July 2026
This Cookie Policy describes the use of cookies and similar technologies on the website www.hareusbullion.com and on the Hareus Bullion platform.
1.What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on the user's computer, smartphone or other device during browsing.
Cookies can be:
- first-party, when installed directly by the visited website;
- third-party, when installed by external parties;
- session cookies, when deleted upon closing the browser;
- persistent, when they remain stored for a predetermined period.
Cookies can remember preferences, keep a session active, improve security, produce statistics or enable third-party functionality.
2.Similar technologies
The rules described also apply to technologies such as:
- pixels;
- tags;
- local storage;
- session storage;
- SDKs;
- web beacons;
- device identifiers;
- fingerprinting techniques;
- similar tracking tools.
In the United Kingdom, the PECR rules concern not only traditional cookies but, more generally, technologies that store or access information on the user's device.
3.Cookie categories
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
They are essential for the operation of the website and the platform.
They may be used for:
- authentication;
- security;
- session management;
- load balancing;
- fraud prevention;
- storing privacy preferences;
- operation of the cart or orders;
- access to the personal area.
These cookies do not require consent when they are genuinely essential for the provision of the requested service.
3.2 Preference cookies
They allow the website to remember:
- language;
- country;
- account settings;
- display preferences;
- any previous choices.
When not strictly necessary, they are installed only with prior consent.
3.3 Statistical or analytical cookies
They allow understanding of:
- number of visitors;
- most consulted pages;
- duration of sessions;
- general origin of traffic;
- browsing errors;
- use of features.
When such cookies do not fall within a specific exemption provided for by law, they are activated only after consent.
3.4 Marketing and profiling cookies
They may be used to:
- show personalised advertisements;
- measure advertising campaigns;
- create audience segments;
- track the user across different sites;
- carry out retargeting;
- link browsing to social networks or advertising platforms.
These cookies are activated only with the user's consent.
3.5 External functionality cookies
They may be installed to display:
- videos;
- maps;
- widgets;
- chats;
- social buttons;
- calendars;
- booking systems;
- embedded external services.
External content that involves tracking must remain disabled until consent, unless the service is strictly necessary.
4.Consent
On first access to the website, the user sees a banner that allows them to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies;
- customise their preferences;
- continue using only essential cookies.
Non-strictly-necessary cookies are not installed before the user's choice.
Consent must be prior, informed and compliant with GDPR or UK GDPR standards, unless a specific exception applies.
The "Reject" button is clearly visible and just as easy to use as the "Accept" button.
Merely continuing to browse does not constitute consent.
5.Changing or withdrawing preferences
The user can change or withdraw consent at any time via the "Manage cookie preferences" link, permanently available in the website footer.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
