Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how DZD SOOQ uses cookies and similar technologies on our Algerian classifieds marketplace — and the choices available to you.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — for example, whether you are signed in, which language you prefer, or how pages performed.

Websites use cookies (and similar technologies such as local storage or session identifiers) to make features work reliably, keep accounts secure, and improve the experience over time. Some cookies last only for a browsing session; others remain until they expire or you delete them.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy at https://dzdsooq.com/privacy/, which explains how DZD SOOQ handles personal information more broadly.

How DZD SOOQ Uses Cookies

On DZD SOOQ, cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

  • Keep you signed in securely across pages and visits
  • Remember user preferences and settings
  • Improve website performance and reliability
  • Protect accounts and reduce unauthorized access
  • Improve platform security and detect suspicious activity
  • Store language and interface preferences
  • Remember search filters and support saved searches
  • Improve overall user experience across devices and sessions

Types of Cookies

We group cookies by purpose. The categories below describe how DZD SOOQ may use them today or as the platform grows.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the marketplace to operate. They support:

  • Login and authentication
  • Security and abuse prevention
  • Session management
  • Basic platform functionality (for example, forms, messaging entry points, and account pages)

Cannot be disabled while using the platform

Because essential cookies are necessary for core features and account protection, they cannot be disabled while you use DZD SOOQ. If you block them in your browser, parts of the site — including sign-in — may stop working correctly.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help personalize and streamline your experience. They may be used for:

  • Remembering preferences you choose on the site
  • Language selection
  • Recently viewed items
  • Search preferences and related interface choices

Analytics Cookies

DZD SOOQ may use analytics services — such as Google Analytics in the future — to understand how people interact with the website. Analytics cookies help us measure traffic, diagnose issues, and improve features.

Analytics configurations are intended to focus on aggregated usage patterns. We do not use analytics cookies to collect personal identity for analytics purposes.

Advertising Cookies

If advertising services such as Google AdSense are enabled in the future, third-party advertising cookies may be used to help deliver and measure relevant advertisements on or related to DZD SOOQ.

When advertising cookies are introduced, we will update this Cookie Policy and related notices so you can understand what is active on the platform.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by trusted third parties that help us operate or grow DZD SOOQ. Depending on which features are enabled, this may include providers such as:

  • Google (for example, analytics or advertising services if enabled)
  • Facebook (for example, social or measurement features if enabled)
  • Apple (for example, sign-in or platform-related technologies if enabled)
  • Payment providers (future), when official checkout methods are offered
  • Other analytics or infrastructure providers we engage to run the Services

Their policies apply too

These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them. DZD SOOQ does not control every cookie set by a third party once you interact with their services on or through our platform.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you manage cookies. Depending on your device and browser, you can typically:

  • Delete cookies already stored on your device
  • Block cookies for some or all websites
  • Configure browser settings to notify you before cookies are stored

Impact on functionality

Disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality — including login, security checks, messaging, and other core marketplace features. Functional preferences (such as language) may also reset if related cookies are cleared.

For the most accurate controls, check your browser’s help documentation for cookie and site-data settings.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

DZD SOOQ may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect product changes, new partners, legal requirements, or clearer explanations.

When we make important changes, we will update the “Last updated” date on this page and may provide additional notice through the Services where appropriate. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
