Those cookies are governed by the respective third party's cookie and privacy policies. SellStein does not control third-party cookies added by merchants.

- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies

Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform.
7. Consent
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. Since SellStein only uses strictly necessary cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If we add non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms.
