1. Introduction

JEJU Commercial Brokers ("JEJU," "we," "us," or "our") operates the commercial trade brokerage platform at jejubrokers.com and the authentic Korean product storefront at minkorea.com (collectively, the "Platform"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how we use them on our Platform, what choices you have regarding their use, and how to manage your preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy (jejubrokers.com/privacy-policy), which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

By continuing to use our Platform after being presented with our cookie consent banner, you acknowledge this Cookie Policy and, where required by law, provide your consent for non-essential cookies.


2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owners.

Cookies typically contain:

  • The name of the website that set the cookie

  • A unique identifier (a string of numbers and letters)

  • The expiry date of the cookie

  • Additional attributes depending on the cookie's purpose

Similar Technologies: In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies including:

  • Web Beacons / Pixel Tags: Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that record when a page or email is opened

  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage that persists data locally on your device

  • Session Storage: Temporary browser storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab

  • Server-Side Sessions: Laravel session data stored server-side, referenced by a session cookie on your device


3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies into four groups based on their purpose. Your consent requirements differ by category.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Note on Google Analytics: Data collected through Google Analytics cookies may be processed and stored on Google servers in the United States. Google LLC acts as a data processor under a Data Processing Agreement. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3.4 Marketing & Advertising Cookies

Consent Required: Yes — These cookies track your activity to help deliver relevant advertising.

Phase 2 Implementation: Marketing and advertising cookies will be introduced in Phase 2 of the Platform alongside paid advertising campaigns. When activated, this section will be updated to name specific providers, cookie names, and purposes.

At present, we do not place marketing or advertising cookies. If you have previously provided consent for marketing cookies, no such cookies are currently being set.


When you first visit the Platform, a Cookie Consent Banner is displayed. You have the following options:

  • Accept All Cookies: Enables all cookie categories including functional, analytics, and marketing cookies

  • Reject Non-Essential Cookies: Only strictly necessary cookies will be set

  • Manage Preferences: Opens the Cookie Preference Center where you can enable or disable each category individually

Your preferences are saved in the cookie_consent cookie for 12 months so that the banner is not displayed on every visit.

4.2 Changing Your Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by:

  1. Clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page on the Platform

  2. This reopens the Cookie Preference Center where you can adjust your selections

  3. Saving your updated preferences will set a new cookie_consent cookie and apply your choices immediately

You may withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing already carried out based on your prior consent. To withdraw consent, update your preferences via the Cookie Settings link as described above.


5. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

In addition to our Cookie Preference Center, you can control and delete cookies through your web browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform.

Useful Third-Party Opt-Out Tools


6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties when you use features on our Platform. These third parties may set their own cookies in accordance with their own cookie and privacy policies. We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant third-party privacy policies:

Third Party Cookie Type Privacy Policy
Google LLC (Google Analytics) Analytics https://policies.google.com/privacy
Stripe Inc. (Payment — Phase 2) Strictly Necessary https://stripe.com/privacy
PayPal Holdings Inc. (Payment — Phase 2) Strictly Necessary https://www.paypal.com/privacy

We will update this table as additional third-party services are integrated into the Platform.


7. Cookies and Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

At this time, our Platform does not alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. We will review this position as industry standards evolve and update this Policy accordingly.


Cookie Category Maximum Retention Period
Strictly Necessary Session to 30 days
Functional Up to 12 months
Analytics Up to 2 years (Google Analytics); 13 months (internal)
Marketing (Phase 2) To be defined upon implementation

On expiry, cookies are automatically deleted by your browser. You can delete cookies manually at any time through your browser settings.


9. Server-Side Sessions

The Platform uses Laravel's server-side session management. A session identifier cookie (jeju_session) is stored in your browser and used to reference your session data stored securely on our servers. This session data may include:

  • Your authentication status and user ID

  • Shopping cart contents

  • Form input data (to support multi-step forms)

  • Flash messages and notifications

  • CSRF token references

Server-side session data is protected with HttpOnly and Secure cookie flags, meaning the session cookie cannot be accessed by JavaScript and is only transmitted over HTTPS connections.


We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our technology, the cookies we use, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy

  • Display an updated cookie consent banner requesting fresh consent where required

  • Notify registered users of significant changes via email

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy each time you visit the Platform.
