Legal information
Cookie Policy
This policy describes cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies that may be used on Local Business Search and in related advertising and email activity.
Effective and last updated: October 12, 20261. What these technologies are
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage, and similar technologies can recognize a browser or device, remember settings, measure activity, connect visits with campaigns, and support site security. First-party technologies are set by us; third-party technologies are set or accessed by another provider.
2. Categories we may use
Strictly necessary
Support security, session management, load balancing, form protection, authentication, preferences required for requested features, and core website operation. The site may not function properly without them.
Functional
Remember optional settings and improve convenience, such as display preferences or previously selected choices.
Analytics and performance
Help us understand visits, page use, navigation, errors, campaign traffic, and content performance. Data may be aggregated or associated with a browser or device identifier.
Advertising and social media
Support conversion measurement, audience matching, retargeting, frequency control, attribution, embedded social functionality, and contextual or interest-based advertising across social networks, search engines, programmatic platforms, and other sites.
Affiliate attribution
Allow merchants or affiliate networks to recognize that a visitor reached them through our link and attribute a qualifying action or purchase.
3. Email technologies
Marketing emails may contain tracked links or small images that report delivery, opens, clicks, or campaign performance, subject to provider capabilities and applicable law. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails, and some email clients allow you to block remote images.
4. Typical duration
Session technologies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent technologies remain for a stated period or until deleted. Duration varies by purpose and provider and may range from days to months or longer for preference, security, suppression, or attribution records.
5. Your controls
- Use the site’s consent controls when presented.
- Block or delete cookies through browser settings; doing so may affect features.
- Use device privacy controls and advertising identifiers.
- Use platform-specific ad preference tools offered by Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and other providers.
- Use recognized industry opt-out mechanisms where available.
- Send a request through our contact page to exercise rights available in your jurisdiction.
Browser “Do Not Track” signals are not interpreted consistently across the industry. Where legally required and technically supported, we will honor applicable opt-out preference signals.
6. Changes
Our technology and vendors may change as the site develops. We will update this policy when practices materially change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
