Last updated: 1st September 2026
1. ABOUT THIS COOKIE POLICY
This Cookie Policy explains how the website at theclassified.biz and its associated pages (the “Website”) use cookies and similar technologies.
The Website is operated by [Website Operator Legal Name] (“theClassified”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use personal information.
A current list of the cookies and similar technologies used on the Website is provided below this policy through our cookie-management system.
2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can perform a number of functions, including:
(a) enabling a website to operate correctly;
(b) remembering choices or preferences;
(c) maintaining security or session information;
(d) helping us understand how the Website is used; and
(e) supporting additional functionality.
Similar technologies may also be used to store information on, or access information from, your device.
For simplicity, this policy uses the term “cookies” to refer both to conventional cookies and, where relevant, similar storage and access technologies.
3. HOW WE USE COOKIES
We use cookies only where they are appropriate for the operation, security, functionality or improvement of the Website.
The cookies used on the Website may fall into the following categories.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Website or a service you have requested to operate correctly.
They may be used for purposes such as:
(a) maintaining essential Website functionality;
(b) protecting the Website and users from security threats;
(c) remembering information necessary to provide a service you have requested;
(d) maintaining session information; or
(e) recording your cookie preferences.
These cookies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie-management tool because the Website or requested service may not function correctly without them.
Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary cookies may be used without your consent.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may allow the Website to remember choices you make or provide enhanced functionality.
Examples may include remembering:
(a) display or interface preferences;
(b) language or regional preferences; or
(c) other Website settings you have selected.
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they will only be used where permitted by law and, where required, after you have given your consent.
3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies may help us understand how visitors use the Website.
They may provide information such as:
(a) which pages are visited;
(b) how visitors navigate through the Website;
(c) how visitors reach the Website;
(d) whether errors occur; and
(e) how Website performance and usability can be improved.
Where consent is required, analytics or performance cookies will not be used until you have made the appropriate choice through our cookie-management system.
3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
The Website may in future use marketing or advertising technologies where appropriate.
Such technologies may be used to:
(a) understand the effectiveness of marketing activity;
(b) measure advertising performance;
(c) limit repeated advertising; or
(d) provide advertising or content that may be more relevant to particular audiences.
Marketing or advertising cookies will only be used where they are actually deployed, appropriately disclosed and permitted by law.
Where consent is required, they will not be activated until you have given that consent.
The current cookie inventory below identifies whether any such technologies are in use.
4. YOUR COOKIE CHOICES
When you first visit the Website, you may be presented with a cookie consent or preference tool.
Where required, non-essential cookies will remain disabled unless and until you choose to allow them.
You may be able to:
(a) accept all optional cookies;
(b) reject optional cookies;
(c) choose particular categories of cookies; or
(d) change your preferences later.
Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to the basic Website, although some optional functionality may be unavailable.
5. CHANGING OR WITHDRAWING YOUR CONSENT
Where we rely on your consent to use cookies, you may change or withdraw that consent at any time.
You can do this using the cookie-preference control provided on the Website.
Changing or withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any use that occurred before you changed your preference.
Where technically appropriate, withdrawing consent will prevent relevant optional cookies from being used in future.
You may also delete existing cookies through your browser settings.
