At XOUNOX (“Imotilist”), we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and mobile applications (the “Site”) in order to improve your experience, develop our services and offer you more relevant content.

This Cookie Policy explains which cookies are used and for what purposes, and how you can manage your preferences, in accordance with Закон за електронната търговия (ЗЕТ) чл. 4а, Art. 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. What Is a Cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) through your browser when you visit a website. Thanks to these files, the website recognises you and stores your preferences.

In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as pixel tags, local storage (localStorage) and SDKs may also be used for the same purposes. In this text, the term “cookie” is used to cover all of these technologies.

2. For What Purposes and How Are Cookies Used?

On the Site, cookies are used to ensure that pages work properly, to improve security, to keep your session open, to remember your language and location preferences, to measure visitor numbers, and to show listings and ads that match your interests.

  • Performing the basic functions of the Site and ensuring security
  • Preserving session, favourites and saved search information
  • Measuring Site performance and detecting errors
  • Providing personalised content, recommendations and advertising

3. What Are the Types of Cookies?

Cookies are classified into different categories according to their purposes of use, their storage periods and their sources.

Essential cookies: These are necessary for the Site to function; they provide functions such as session management, security and load balancing. These cookies cannot be disabled (ЗЕТ чл. 4а ал. 4).

5. Legal Bases

Essential cookies do not require consent because they are strictly necessary for the Site to provide the service you have requested (ЗЕТ чл. 4а ал. 4). Personal data processed through these cookies is based on the legal bases of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract) and Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest in the security of the Site).

Analytics, functional and advertising-marketing cookies are placed only with your prior and active consent (ЗЕТ чл. 4а ал. 1, Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR). Not giving consent does not prevent you from using the basic functions of the Site.

You can withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it (Art. 7(3) GDPR).

6. Transfer of Your Data Processed Through Cookies

Data obtained through cookies may be transferred, for the purpose of providing the service, to our hosting, analytics and advertising service providers (acting as data processors under Art. 28 GDPR) and to competent authorities within the scope of our legal obligations. Transfers to providers outside the European Economic Area are made only with the safeguards provided for in Art. 44-49 GDPR, such as an adequacy decision of the European Commission (for example, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) or standard contractual clauses.

7. How Can You Manage Your Cookie Preferences?
