1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies on This Site
Nearbylifes is a listings directory: browsing it does not require an account, and the site itself sets very few cookies of its own. Where pages display advertising, third-party advertising vendors — including Google — may set cookies or use similar technologies. The categories that may be involved are:
Essential Cookies
Set by the site or its hosting provider to deliver pages, keep the connection secure, and protect against abuse. These do not require consent.
Analytics Cookies
If used, these help us understand in aggregate which categories and pages are visited, so we can improve the directory. They do not identify you personally.
Marketing / Advertising Cookies
Set by third-party advertising vendors, including Google, to measure ad performance and, where you have consented, to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
Consent Preference Cookies
Store the cookie choices you make in the consent notice, so the site does not ask you again on every visit.
For visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, a consent notice lets you choose which non-essential categories to allow before they are set. Wherever a consent banner is shown, you can change or withdraw your choice through the "Cookie Settings" or "Manage consent" link in the banner.
3. Managing Your Preferences
Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org. You can also opt out of personalized advertising at https://adssettings.google.com (Google Ads Settings), www.aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance), or www.youronlinechoices.eu (European opt-out).
Please note that blocking cookies does not block access to the listings on this site; the directory remains fully browsable. Some embedded or third-party content may behave differently.
