Updated on November 25, 2025
The main controller of your data (the company that decides why and how your data is processed) for the purpose of our international services is OLX Global B.V., a limited liability company with its registered office at Gustav Mahlerplein 5, Symphony Offices, 1082 MS Amsterdam, Netherlands. OLX Global B.V provides you with our services (hereinafter collectively referred to as “OLX” or "we" “us” or "our" in this Cookie Policy). The local data controller that processes your personal data is: [insert the relevant corporate details of the local OLX entity].
This policy refers to cookies and similar technologies used, as applicable, in the websites and applications operated by OLX.
This policy is complemented by the Rethink privacy policy that you can find here, which includes additional useful information, including regarding the data protection officer, all purposes of data processing, your rights, as well as their exceptions and limitations.
Cookies are small text files which may be placed on your device (such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website or use an app. These files contain information about the user's interactions with the website and are used for various purposes, including improving user experience, tracking user behaviour, and personalising content. Cookies play a significant role in how websites function and provide a customised browsing experience.
We also use other similar technologies to cookies. We use them to transmit the information we have collected about you when you visit our website to other applications.
Cookies perform various functions including making navigation easier and storing your preferences to show you relevant content and enhance your general user experience.
We use cookies:
Our services may use the following cookies modules:
Our services use other technologies with similar effect to cookies, specifically: web beacons - these are small and often invisible graphic images or objects embedded within a webpage (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”). We use web beacons together with cookies to identify our users and their behaviour.
Our services may include links to third-party websites or applications, including those of our partners. Please note those third-party websites may also use cookies. We do not control those third-party websites and are not responsible for the cookies they set or access. If you click on one of these links or apps, please note that each one will have its own cookies policy. Therefore, please read the cookies policy of other Internet sites or apps before using them.
Cookies help you in providing a better and faster online experience. A cookie is a small text file that stores internet settings. Almost every website uses cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are downloaded by your internet browser and placed on your device the first time you visit a website.
The next time you visit the same website using the same device, the site that initially triggered the cookie setting will recognize that you have visited the site before and, in some cases, will adapt the content to take into account previous visits. This way, the website experience can be tailored to your interests and preferences.
Among other purposes, we use cookies to enhance your experience while using our services by remembering your preferences. For instance, on many ecommerce websites, if you add an item to an online shopping cart without completing the checkout process, the next time you visit the same website, you can still see the same item in the shopping cart. This is an example of how cookies are used to remember your preferences. Without using cookies your experience while using our services will be less user-friendly.
First-party cookies and third-party cookies
Cookies can be first-party or third-party. A first-party cookie is one that you receive directly from OLX when visiting our services. A third-party cookie is one that you have received from another party, such as Google. We do not control what third parties do on other sites. However, we may work with certain third-party providers such as Google to permit their cookies to function through our services so we can learn more about your web experience on our website and better personalise our services for you.
Persistent and session cookies
A persistent cookie is a cookie that is stored by the web browser on your device until it expires or you delete it. The expiration of a persistent cookie is determined by the creator of the cookie and can be on a certain date or after a length of session time has passed. This means that, for the cookie's entire lifespan, its information will be transmitted to the creator’s server every time the user visits the website that it belongs to or another website configured to check for that cookie (such as an advertisement placed on that website). For this reason, persistent cookies are also called “tracking cookies.”
A session cookie is created temporarily on your device for use by a website during your visit. This type of cookie may store information you enter and track your activity within the website. A session cookie is deleted after you leave the website or when the web browser is closed. A good example of a session cookie is the shopping cart on an e-commerce site. The session cookie stores the items that you add to your cart so they are not forgotten while you view products on other pages of the website. Using a session cookie, the items will all be in the cart when you go to the checkout page.
For more information about cookies, see www.all aboutcookies.org.
On our services we will give you full control and the possibility to opt out at any time when using any third-party plugins or tools that connect to the servers of an external service provider. When you click on the “view purposes” button displayed in our cookie banner you will be able to access the preference manager. There, you will find a comprehensive list of the cookie modules we use, as well as details about cookies set by our advertising partners and other vendors as well as the purposes for which we use these vendors. By one click you can enable or disable any non-essential cookies, irrespective if these are set by us or one of our partners. Cookies can be enabled / disabled as a whole category or individually.
If you want to manage your consent settings you can also do so at any time by accessing the “Cookie settings” which you can find in the footer at the bottom of our website.
Please note that the preference manager itself is provided by one of our service providers and will require some data (your IP address and a user ID) to be transmitted to this vendor. For this purpose, the setting of a cookie will be required. This data will then be forwarded to the advertising partner or other vendor to register whether you have granted your consent or not. Since we need to drop a cookie to remember your privacy settings and opt outs, please be reminded that all your cookie settings will be lost in case you choose to delete the preference cookie.
Our services may also contain content from other websites that may deploy their own cookies. These cookies are set by someone other than OLX. These third party providers may set cookies while you visit our website and receive information such as the fact that you have accessed our website. You will need to visit the websites of these third parties to learn more about how they use these cookies. You can find more detailed information about the relevant third parties by accessing the “Cookie settings” section.
If you have decided that you do not want to accept third-party cookies, you can oppose these cookies or withdraw your consent to them using the relevant function provided in the "Cookie Settings" section. If you object to all third-party cookies, you will only be provided with those functionalities that our website offers without these cookies.
If you decide to reject cookies that require your prior consent, they will no longer be used. If you decide to withdraw your consent previously given to us, we will no longer use the relevant cookies and we will delete them (if they are first party cookies). However, this means that, in the case of functional cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of all the features and functionalities of our website. Similarly, it is possible for you to reject performance cookies. In this case, we will be less able to find out what you like or dislike about our website so that we can improve it.
We cannot delete third-party cookies. If you want to delete all third-party cookies, you must do so in your browser settings. Also, if you reject or withdraw your consent to advertising cookies, you won't necessarily receive less advertising - but the advertising you see won't be personalised to suit your needs.
While the above only refers to third-party cookies and tools, you can also deactivate the use of cookies altogether. Your browser will usually provide information on how to refuse, delete or block cookies. The following links will take you to that information on some of the commonly used browsers:
You may opt out of third party cookies from Google Analytics through its ads settings or through https://adssettings.google.com
You may opt out of interest-based targeting cookies set by participating ad servers through the following websites powered by the Digital Advertising Alliance:
