Cookie Policy

How this site uses storage

Cookies and browser storage help the directory remember sessions and choices, prevent abuse, process payments, provide maps, save comparison selections, and—only with permission—measure site usage. You can accept, reject, or revisit optional categories through Cookie Settings.

Necessary and functional technologies

• Authentication cookies keep signed-in users secure and generally expire within 30 days.
• The consent cookie stores only category choices, a policy version, and a decision timestamp for 180 days.
• Comparison selections use local storage until you clear them.
• AI search temporarily stores the resulting filter summary in session storage so it can be shown on the results page; it is cleared when the browser session ends.
• Google Maps and Street View provide map and location features.
• Stripe provides payment interfaces when you choose a paid service.
• Cloudflare Turnstile helps prevent automated form abuse.

Analytics

When you grant analytics consent, Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_* and receive page and interaction measurements. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, phone numbers, form text, or raw free-text searches to analytics. Rejecting or revoking analytics prevents new analytics requests and removes GA cookies accessible to this site.

Advertising

Behavioral advertising technologies are currently disabled. First-party listing and house ads are part of the directory and remain available regardless of optional cookie choices.

Managing choices

Use Cookie Settings in the footer to change optional consent. Browser controls can also remove or block storage, although blocking necessary technologies may prevent account, payment, comparison, or security features from working correctly.
