Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site.

Cookies typically store information such as:

• A unique identifier
• Session information (for example, to keep you signed in)
• Preference settings (for example, language or location)

Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you (like your name), but they may be linked to other information we hold about you.

In addition to cookies, we may use:

• Pixels/web beacons: small invisible images or code snippets used to measure performance and user activity
• SDKs (Software Development Kits): tools used in mobile or web environments to provide analytics or advertising features
• Local storage/session storage: browser-based storage used to remember settings or improve performance
• Server logs: records of requests made to our servers (for example, IP address, browser type, timestamps)

For simplicity, we refer to these collectively as "cookies."

We use cookies for several purposes, including:

A) To Make the Website Work

Cookies help with core functions such as:

• Enabling navigation and essential site features
• Keeping the Website secure
• Maintaining sessions (for example, staying logged in)
• Detecting and preventing fraud, spam, and abuse

B) To Improve Performance and User Experience

Cookies help us:

• Remember preferences (for example, search filters)
• Reduce repeated actions (for example, remembering form inputs)
• Improve page speed and performance

C) To Understand How the Website Is Used (Analytics)

Cookies allow us to understand:

• Which pages are visited most
• How users move through the Website
• Which searches are popular
• Errors or performance issues

We use this information to improve the Website, listings experience, and overall functionality.

D) To Support Marketing and Advertising (Where Used)

If we run marketing campaigns or display ads, cookies may be used to:

• Measure campaign effectiveness
• Limit how often you see an ad
• Show content or ads that may be relevant to you

We may also use cookies to support remarketing (showing ads to people who have previously visited our Website).

Below are the categories of cookies that may be used on our Website:

Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems in many cases because the Website may not work correctly without them.

Examples of essential uses:

• Login and authentication
• Security and fraud prevention
• Load balancing and basic site performance

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization.

Examples of functional uses:

• Remembering preferences and settings
• Remembering directory filters (for example, category/location)

Performance / Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how users interact with the Website. The information is generally aggregated or de-identified.

Examples of analytics uses:

• Counting visits and traffic sources
• Understanding which listing pages perform best
• Identifying site errors or slow pages

Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set by our advertising partners or us to build a profile of your interests and show relevant ads on other sites.

Examples of advertising uses:

• Measuring ad conversions
• Retargeting (showing ads after you visit)
• Preventing repeated display of the same ad

First-party cookies

Set by our Website domain and generally used for site functionality and performance.

Third-party cookies

Set by domains other than our Website, typically used for analytics, advertising, embedded content, and integrations.

Important: Third parties may collect information directly from your browser and may combine it with other data you have provided to them or that they collected elsewhere.

Depending on the cookie type, cookies may collect or process:

• IP address (often shortened or hashed where supported)
• Device and browser type
• Operating system
• Approximate location (derived from IP)
• Pages visited and actions taken (for example, clicking a listing, using search)
• Referring website or campaign source
• Time spent on pages and navigation paths

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies: remain on your device until they expire, or you delete them

We keep cookies for the duration necessary to achieve their purpose, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

You can control cookies in several ways:

Cookie Banner / Preference Tool (If Enabled)

If we provide a cookie preference tool, you can adjust your choices at any time by:

• Clicking the cookie settings link (if available) in the footer or banner

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to:

• See what cookies you have
• Delete cookies
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block cookies entirely

Note: If you disable cookies, parts of the Website may not function properly.

Mobile Device Controls

Your device may allow you to limit ad tracking or reset advertising identifiers.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how DNT should be interpreted, we do not currently respond to DNT signals.

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights relating to how personal information is collected and used, including rights under laws such as:

• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
• Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)
• Colorado Privacy Act (CPA)
• Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA)
• Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA)

Cookies and similar technologies may be considered a form of data collection that can fall under these laws.

If applicable, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the information we collect
• Request deletion of information (with legal exceptions)
• Opt out of certain forms of data sharing/processing (where required)
