Privacy and cookies

How MainBuyer handles analytics choices, technical information and enquiries.

Analytics

Google Analytics is optional and remains disabled unless a visitor accepts analytics cookies. Visitors can reject analytics or reopen cookie settings from the footer.

Outbound-click records

MainBuyer records basic outbound-click information to understand which products, services and providers visitors find useful. The internal click ledger does not intentionally store visitor IP addresses.

Information you provide

When you contact MainBuyer, the information in your message is used to respond to the enquiry and manage the relevant business relationship. It is not sold to third parties.

Your choices

You can reject optional analytics cookies and request information about a direct enquiry you have sent to MainBuyer.

Optional analytics

MainBuyer uses Google Analytics only when a visitor actively accepts analytics in the cookie banner. Before acceptance, MainBuyer does not load the Google Analytics tracking script.

If analytics is accepted, Google Analytics may use cookies such as _ga and related _ga_* cookies to measure visits and interactions. MainBuyer disables Google advertising signals and advertising personalisation in its Analytics configuration.

Your analytics choice is stored locally in your browser so MainBuyer can remember it. You can reopen the consent controls at any time using Cookie settings in the footer and change your choice.

Country selection

MainBuyer uses country-level location information to direct visitors to the appropriate market version of the site and show retailers for that country. Where the hosting or CDN provides a country code derived from the visitor's IP address, MainBuyer uses that code directly.

If no country code is supplied by the hosting layer, MainBuyer may send the visitor's IP address to the IPWhois country lookup service at ipwho.is solely to obtain a country code. MainBuyer does not write the IP address to its own country-selection database or click ledger. Country lookup results may be held temporarily in server memory for up to six hours to reduce repeated lookups.

A visitor can choose a different MainBuyer country manually. That choice is stored in the strictly functional mainbuyer_country cookie for up to one year and takes priority over automatic country detection.
