What Are Cookies, Web Beacons, And Similar Technologies?
Like most sites, we use technologies that are essentially small data files placed on your
computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices (referred to collectively as a “device”) that
allow us to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our sites,
services, applications, messaging, and tools, and to recognize you across devices.
The specific names and types of the cookies, web beacons, unique identifiers, and similar
technologies we use to collect information (e.g. about the pages you view, the links you click,
and other actions you take on our Services, within our advertising or e-mail content) may
change from time to time. In order to help you better understand this Policy and our use of such
technologies we have provided the following limited terminology and definitions:
- Cookies – Small text files (typically made up of letters and numbers) placed in the
memory of your browser or device when you visit a website or view a message. Cookies
allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. There are several types of
cookies:
- Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session and allow us to link
your actions during that particular browser session;
- Persistent cookies are stored on your device in between browser sessions,
allowing us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites;
- First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting;
- Third-party cookies are set by a third party site separate from the site you are
visiting.
Cookies can be disabled or removed by tools that are available in most commercial
browsers. The preferences for each browser you use will need to be set separately and
different browsers offer different functionality and options.
- Web beacons – Small graphic images (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) that
may be included on our sites, services, applications, messaging, and tools, that typically
work in conjunction with cookies to identify our users and user behavior.

Use of these technologies by authorized third-party service providers
We may work with third-party companies, commonly known as service providers, who are
authorized to place third-party cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies for storing

member communications, classified listings, comments, reviews, etc.) to include or utilize any
cookies, web beacons, local storage, or similar technologies for tracking purposes or to collect
your personal information for their own purposes. If you believe a listing or other third-party

sites, please report it to rg@dss.pr.
Do Not Track
The law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT)
signals. Because there currently isn’t an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring
DNT signals, we don’t respond to them at this time. We await the result of work by the privacy
community and industry to determine when such a response is appropriate and what form it
should take.
