7. Cookies
- Essential Cookies: Required for authentication, security, and core functionality.

- Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may impair site functionality.
7.1 Advertising cookies and third-party vendors
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- The use of the DoubleClick cookie enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing habits and inferred interests.
- These advertising cookies are set by the third-party vendor, not by Brusite, and we do not control the data they collect. Their use is governed by the vendor’s own privacy policy.
7.2 Opting out of personalised advertising
You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time using the tools below. These are operated by the advertising industry and by Google, not by Brusite:
- Google Ads Settings — opt out of personalised advertising by Google at google.com/settings/ads.
- About Ads — opt out of personalised advertising from participating third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices.
- Your Online Choices — the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page at youronlinechoices.com.
- Your browser — most browsers let you block or delete third-party cookies in their privacy settings.
Opting out of personalised advertising does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements. It means the advertisements you see are no longer tailored to your browsing history, and may therefore be less relevant to you.
7.3 Advertising and your choices
Brusite displays advertising to support the free operation of the marketplace. Where local law requires your consent before advertising cookies are set, that consent will be requested before the cookies are placed, and refusing it does not prevent you from browsing or buying on Brusite.
8. Third-Party Links
Our platform may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
10. International Data Transfers
Your data may be processed and stored in Brunei Darussalam and other countries where our service providers operate. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your data to jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes by email or a notice on our website. The “Last Updated” date above indicates the most recent revision.
