What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit certain web pages. At Placebuzz.com, we use cookies to enhance your experience—such as keeping you logged in or remembering your previous searches.

To create an account or receive personalised alerts, cookies need to be enabled in your browser. You can still browse the site without enabling them, but some features may not work as expected.

Cookies do not harm your device. We do not store personally identifiable information in cookies. We may, however, use encrypted data to personalise your experience and improve our services.

Third-Party Cookies

We work with carefully selected partners who may use cookies for purposes like remarketing. These help show you relevant ads based on your browsing activity. To opt out, visit the Network Advertising Initiative.

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. There’s currently no industry standard for how to handle DNT, so our site does not respond to DNT requests at this time.
