2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies and equivalent local storage items are essential for the operation of the BoatMove website. They enable core functionality such as:
- session and authentication management
- security and CSRF protection
- remembering interface preferences (such as language and light/dark mode)
Without these, parts of the website may not function correctly. Because they are essential, they cannot normally be disabled through our website.
Analytics and Marketing Cookies (only with your consent)
These are only set if you click “Accept all” on our cookie banner. If you choose “Essential only”, none of them are set. They help us to:
- count visits and see which pages are used, so we can improve the website
- understand which websites, searches, social media posts or adverts brought you to BoatMove
- measure whether our advertising leads to quote requests
If you accept, we also remember on your device the campaign or website that referred you, so that a later quote request can be linked to it.

Through it we may use Google Analytics (Google) and, where we advertise on their platforms, measurement tags from Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn.
