Third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
6. Google Services
Listing.Press may use Google services including:
- Google AdSense
- Google Analytics
- Google advertising technologies
- Google consent management technologies
When Google services are integrated into a website, a visitor’s browser may send information to Google, including the URL of the page being visited and the user’s IP address.
Google may also set or read cookies or use other identifiers for purposes including:
- Providing Google services
- Analytics
- Advertising
- Advertising measurement
- Fraud and abuse prevention

For more information, please review: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
7. Google Analytics
Listing.Press may use Google Analytics to measure website traffic and understand how visitors interact with the Service.
Depending on our configuration, Google Analytics may use first-party cookies such as:
| Example Cookie | General Purpose | Typical Default Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Helps distinguish users for analytics measurement. | Up to 2 years by default |
| _ga_<container-id> | Helps maintain session state for Google Analytics. | Up to 2 years by default |
Cookie names, purposes, and expiration periods may change depending on Google configuration, consent status, implementation, and future changes to Google’s services.
The actual technologies active on Listing.Press may therefore differ from the examples above.
8. Google AdSense

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, advertising identifiers, IP addresses, web beacons, or similar technologies in connection with advertising.
These technologies may be used for:
- Serving advertisements

- Preventing advertising fraud
- Limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed
- Providing personalized advertisements where permitted
- Providing non-personalized advertisements where appropriate
The specific advertising technology providers involved may vary depending on geographic location, consent choices, Google configuration, and advertising availability.
9. Personalized Advertising
Where legally permitted and where appropriate consent or other lawful authorization exists, advertising providers may use information about browsing activity or identifiers to provide advertising considered more relevant to a user.
Depending on the user’s location and privacy choices, Listing.Press may instead display non-personalized or otherwise restricted advertising.
Listing.Press does not independently determine all data processing performed by third-party advertising providers.
10. Consent Management
Listing.Press may use a Consent Management Platform (“CMP”) to allow users to control certain cookie, analytics, advertising, and data-processing choices.
Depending on your location, the consent interface may allow you to:
- Accept certain optional technologies
- Reject certain optional technologies
- Manage advertising preferences
- Manage analytics preferences
- Review advertising technology providers
- Withdraw or modify previous consent choices
The choices available may differ by jurisdiction.
11. EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland
Users accessing Listing.Press from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom, or Switzerland may be presented with a consent interface before certain cookies, advertising technologies, or other local storage technologies operate where consent is required.
Listing.Press may use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform integrated with the applicable IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework for advertising-related consent management.
Depending on applicable law and user choices, advertising may be personalized, non-personalized, restricted, or unavailable.
12. United States Users
Listing.Press is based in the United States.
Certain U.S. states provide residents with rights concerning targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information, profiling, or similar processing activities.
Where applicable law requires it, Listing.Press may provide mechanisms allowing eligible users to opt out of covered processing.
The availability and scope of such rights depend on the applicable state law and whether that law applies to Listing.Press.
13. California Users
Certain advertising and analytics technologies may fall within broad statutory definitions of “sale” or “sharing” under California privacy law even when Listing.Press does not sell personal information for monetary payment in the ordinary meaning of the word.
Where California law applies and provides an eligible user with an opt-out right, Listing.Press intends to provide or recognize appropriate mechanisms as legally required.
For additional information, please review our Privacy Policy.
14. Global Privacy Control
Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid opt-out preference signal, Listing.Press may process such signals for the activities to which the signal legally applies.
The effect of a GPC signal may depend on your jurisdiction, browser, and the technologies operating through the Service.
15. WordPress
Listing.Press may use WordPress and related software to operate the website.
WordPress or related plugins may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:
- Website administration
- Session management
- Comment functionality
- Form processing
- Security
- Spam prevention
- User preference storage
The exact cookies used may depend on which WordPress functionality and plugins are active at a particular time.
16. Forms and Community Submissions
Listing.Press may provide forms for community submissions, business promotions, personal listings, legal requests, correction requests, or general communications.
Forms and anti-spam systems may use cookies, security tokens, browser information, IP addresses, or similar technologies where reasonably necessary to:
- Process submissions
- Prevent automated spam
- Prevent fraudulent submissions
- Protect website infrastructure
- Maintain form functionality
17. Security and Anti-Spam Technologies
Listing.Press may use security, firewall, CAPTCHA, anti-bot, or anti-spam technologies.
These services may process technical information such as:
- IP address

- Device information
- Request patterns
- Security identifiers

Such processing may be necessary to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated abuse or malicious activity.
18. Embedded and Third-Party Content
Listing.Press may link to or embed content provided by third parties.
Examples may include:
- Videos
- Maps
- Social media content
- External media
- Interactive services
When embedded third-party content is loaded, the third-party provider may place cookies or receive technical information about the user’s browser or device.
Where legally required, Listing.Press may delay certain non-essential embedded content until appropriate consent has been obtained.
19. Cookie Duration
Cookie retention periods vary depending on the purpose and provider.
Cookies may generally be:
- Session cookies – removed when a browser session ends
- Persistent cookies – retained for a defined period or until deleted
Third-party providers may modify their cookie retention periods independently.
For this reason, specific cookie durations may change over time.
20. Current Cookie List
The precise list of cookies and technologies operating on Listing.Press may change as we add, remove, update, or reconfigure services.
Where a Consent Management Platform provides a cookie or vendor preference center, that interface may contain a more current technical list of active vendors, purposes, cookies, and consent choices.
This Cookie Policy describes the general categories and purposes of technologies that may be used through Listing.Press.
21. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Where available, users may manage optional cookie preferences through the Listing.Press consent interface.
You may also be able to control cookies through your browser settings.
Most modern browsers allow users to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete cookies
- Block some or all cookies
- Restrict third-party cookies
- Clear site data
Browser controls vary by browser and device.
22. Effect of Blocking Cookies
Blocking or deleting cookies may affect some aspects of Listing.Press.
For example:
- Preferences may not be remembered
- Consent choices may need to be entered again
- Certain forms or security features may function differently
- Analytics may be limited
- Advertisements may become less relevant
Blocking optional cookies should not prevent access to ordinary public Listing.Press content where technically practicable.
23. Google Advertising Controls
Google provides users with tools for managing advertising-related preferences.
Depending on Google’s current services and your account status, you may be able to review or modify advertising preferences through Google’s advertising and privacy controls.
These controls are operated by Google and may change independently of Listing.Press.
24. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit traditional “Do Not Track” signals.
There is no single universally adopted standard governing how all websites must respond to traditional Do Not Track signals.
Where a legally recognized opt-out preference signal must be honored under applicable law, Listing.Press may respond as required.
25. Children
Listing.Press is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly use Listing.Press to intentionally profile children under 13 for personalized advertising.
