Cookie Policy
NameMarket uses a small number of cookies and browser storage items to run the marketplace, keep admin access secure and, only if you agree, understand site usage. Last updated: 1 July 2026.
1. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files saved by your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that lets a site remember settings on the same device. NameMarket uses both only for site operation, saved preferences, security and optional analytics.
2. Essential cookies and storage
Essential cookies are needed for the site to work, remember your choices, protect admin access and process purchase requests. They cannot be switched off through the cookie banner.
| Name | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
nm_cookie_consent | Stores whether you accepted optional analytics or chose essential cookies only. | 180 days |
next-auth* / __Secure-next-auth* | Supports admin login, CSRF protection and secure admin sessions. | Session to 30 days |
fs_sid | Session identifier used for admin security and, for public visitors, only after optional analytics consent. | Up to 1 year |
namemarket-accessibility-v1 | Stores accessibility display choices in local storage on your device. | Until cleared by you |
3. Optional analytics
Optional analytics helps NameMarket understand which listings and pages receive interest. It is not enabled unless you choose "Accept all" or save analytics as enabled in the cookie banner.
| Name | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
fs_js | Confirms that JavaScript ran in a real browser after analytics consent. | 1 hour |
| Internal visit log | Records page path, browser signals and approximate network information after analytics consent. | Operational retention |
4. Third-party cookies
NameMarket may link to PayPal, card processors, escrow providers, Afternic, registrars or other external services. Those services can set their own cookies when you visit their websites or embedded checkout pages. Their cookie and privacy notices apply to that part of the journey.
5. Changing your choices
Use the button at the top of this page to change cookie choices. You can also delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you clear browser data, NameMarket may ask for your choice again.
