1. What Are Cookies

  • Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser when you visit a website.
  • They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how visitors use the site.
  • Cookies may be set by NearbyScout (first-party cookies) or by trusted partners such as analytics providers (third-party cookies).

2. How NearbyScout Uses Cookies

  • Essential cookies - Required for core site functionality, including authentication, session management, security (CSRF protection), and load balancing. Without these cookies, parts of nearbyscout.com may not work correctly.
  • Analytics cookies - Help us understand how visitors use NearbyScout (for example, which pages are viewed, how search is used, and where errors occur). We may use services such as Google Analytics or similar first-party analytics tools. Data is aggregated where possible.
  • Preference cookies - Remember choices you make, such as saved filters, display settings, or region preferences, so you do not have to set them again on every visit.
  • Marketing cookies - If we run advertising or remarketing campaigns, these cookies may measure ad performance or show relevant promotions. You can opt out of non-essential marketing cookies through your browser or applicable ad settings.

3. Third-Party Cookies

  • Some cookies on nearbyscout.com are placed by third parties that provide services on our behalf.
  • For example, analytics providers (such as Google) may set their own cookies to measure traffic and usage patterns.
  • Third parties process data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies if you want more detail on how they use cookies.
  • NearbyScout does not control third-party cookies directly, but we limit partners to those needed to operate and improve the Service.
