This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies OpenList247 (the "Platform") uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as whether you are signed in.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use a small, focused set of cookies to run the Platform, rather than broad tracking or profiling:
- Session and authentication cookies: keep you signed in as you move between pages, and identify your session for features like your wallet, favorites, and business dashboard.
- Security cookies: protect forms on the Platform (such as login, listing submission, and reviews) against cross-site request forgery.
- Preference storage: a small marker is stored in your browser (via local storage) to remember that you have acknowledged our cookie notice, so it isn't shown on every visit.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of visitors ourselves, and we do not run third-party analytics tracking on the Platform.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Where an administrator has configured a Google AdSense publisher account, pages that show an ad placement without an active OpenList247 advertiser may load a Google AdSense ad unit, which can set its own cookies in line with Google's advertising cookie practices. These cookies are set and controlled by Google, not by us; you can learn more and manage your ad personalization settings directly through Google's own advertising settings.
4. Cookie Consent
When you first visit OpenList247, you will see a short notice about our use of cookies. Clicking "Accept" dismisses the notice for future visits on that device and browser. Continuing to use the Platform without disabling cookies in your browser is treated as acceptance of the essential cookies described above, which are required for the Platform to function.
5. Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Because the cookies we set are largely essential to signing in and using the Platform securely, blocking them may prevent parts of the Platform — such as logging in, submitting a review, or managing a business listing — from working correctly.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use. We will update the "last updated" information shown on this page when we do.
7. Contact
