Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, remember preferences, and provide reporting information. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, web beacons, SDKs, JavaScript libraries, and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies” or “similar technologies.”

Some cookies expire when you close your browser (“session cookies”), while others remain until deleted or until they expire automatically (“persistent cookies”). Cookies may also be first-party cookies set by MAXPlaces or third-party cookies set by providers that deliver services on or through the Site.

Technologies used to communicate website preferences to AI systems, such as llms.txt or similar machine-readable files, do not store information on your device and are not considered cookies or similar tracking technologies under this Cookie Policy.

We use cookies to operate and secure the Site, remember and document your consent choices, understand how visitors use the Site, troubleshoot issues, measure campaign performance, and (where applicable) support marketing, advertising, remarketing, and conversion attribution. Our current consent, analytics, session analytics, and advertising tools include CookieYes, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, Meta Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Some cookies are essential for the Site to function; optional analytics and advertising technologies are controlled through CookieYes and used only where permitted or with your consent.

Where required by applicable law, we rely on your consent before placing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device. We use CookieYes to request and record consent, communicate your category choices to our tags, and allow you to change or withdraw consent. Because our current CookieYes Basic plan does not provide geo-targeting, the same opt-in controls are presented sitewide rather than only in selected regions.

Strictly necessary cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in operating, securing, and delivering the Site, or because they are required to provide functionality you request. Advertising cookies may constitute “sharing” of personal information under California law where they are used for cross-context behavioral advertising or similar purposes.

CookieYes provides our consent banner, stores consent preferences, and communicates those preferences to the technologies used on the Site. Google Analytics 4 measures traffic, devices, referrals, and site interactions. Microsoft Clarity provides session analytics such as clicks, scrolling, page activity, heatmaps, and session recordings. Meta Pixel and LinkedIn Insight Tag support advertising measurement, conversion attribution, audience insights, and retargeting where configured.

Other third parties may provide services on or through our Site, including CRM, chat, video, embedded content, maps, email, marketing automation, payment, hosting, and security services such as YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, and Cloudflare. These providers process data under their own privacy policies, and we use data-processing terms with providers where applicable.

Embedded content, such as videos, maps, social media posts, or third-party widgets, may behave as if you visited the provider's website directly and may set cookies or collect information depending on your browser settings and consent choices.

Some future Site features may incorporate AI-powered functionality supplied by third-party providers. Where such functionality places cookies or similar technologies, those technologies will be subject to this Cookie Policy and the applicable provider's privacy practices.

You have several ways to control cookies:

• Consent banner / preference center: use the CookieYes banner to accept or reject optional cookie categories. You can reopen it at any time using Cookie Settings in the Site footer.
• Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent portions of the Site from functioning correctly.
• Opt-out tools: you can opt out of certain analytics and advertising cookies via provider tools (e.g., the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on) and industry opt-out pages (e.g., the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative).

Because there is no common industry standard for “Do Not Track” (DNT), we do not currently respond to DNT signals. Our current consent platform plan does not automatically process Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. You can exercise the same choice by rejecting Advertising cookies through Cookie Settings or by contacting us. If a recognized opt-out preference signal must be honored under law applicable to MAXPlaces, we will implement the supporting mechanism required for that signal.

Cookie duration describes how long a cookie may remain on your device. CookieYes normally remembers a consent choice for up to 12 months, after which the banner may request a renewed choice. Cookie duration does not necessarily describe how long related personal information may be retained by MAXPlaces or third-party providers. For more information about personal information retention, see our Privacy Policy.

Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be processed in the United States or other countries that may not provide the same level of protection as your home jurisdiction, including by third-party analytics, advertising, and technology providers.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or applicable laws change. We will post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date.
