Dealforts uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and understand how people use our services. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on return visits, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the site.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — these work differently but serve similar purposes. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these technologies.

Essential cookies:

These are required for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled.
