Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy
This Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy was last updated on July 15, 2026.
It explains how cookies and related technologies are used on https://fix246.com. This policy applies to all visitors, with particular regard to users located in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
1. Introduction
The website https://fix246.com, hereinafter referred to as “fix246” or “the website”, uses cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functions, maintain user sessions, protect forms and accounts, and keep the platform secure.
Some of these technologies may be provided by third-party service providers acting on our behalf.
We do not currently use cookies for analytics, behavioural advertising, personalised advertising or cross-site tracking.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies may allow a website to recognise your browser, maintain your login session, remember certain settings, protect forms or provide other technical functions.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others may remain on your device for a limited period or until you delete them.
3. What are similar technologies?
In addition to traditional cookies, websites may use technologies such as:
- local storage;
- session storage;
- security tokens;
- scripts;
- browser identifiers; and
- server-side session data.
For convenience, references to “cookies” in this policy may also include these similar technologies where appropriate.
4. What are scripts?
A script is a piece of program code that allows the website to operate correctly and interactively.
Scripts may be executed on our servers or in your browser. They may be used, for example, to display forms, process account actions, detect automated access or provide interactive platform features.
5. Categories of cookies and technologies used
5.1 Strictly necessary and functional technologies
fix246 uses strictly necessary and functional technologies that are required to:
- operate the website;
- provide user registration and login functions;
- maintain authenticated user sessions;
- protect accounts and forms;
- prevent spam, fraud and automated abuse;
- process Job Requests and Service Offerings;
- provide messaging and account features;
- maintain website security; and
- remember essential technical settings.
These technologies are not used for advertising or behavioural tracking.
Because they are required for the operation and security of the website, they cannot be disabled through a cookie preference tool on fix246.
You may block or delete them through your browser settings. However, doing so may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.
5.2 Analytics cookies
fix246 does not currently use analytics cookies or analytics services to monitor user behaviour.
5.3 Marketing and tracking cookies
fix246 does not currently use cookies to:
- create advertising profiles;
- provide personalised advertising;
- track users across unrelated websites; or
- measure advertising activity through third-party tracking networks.
Advertising displayed directly on fix246 may be managed and measured internally without creating cross-site user profiles.
6. Services and technologies used
6.1 WordPress and website functionality
fix246 is operated using WordPress and related website components.
WordPress may use technically necessary cookies to:
- maintain login sessions;
- authenticate registered users;
- protect user accounts;
- remember administrative or account-related preferences; and
- support essential website functions.
The exact cookies used may depend on whether you are logged in and which parts of the website you use.
Examples may include WordPress login, authentication and session cookies.
6.2 Cloudflare and Cloudflare Turnstile
fix246 uses Cloudflare services to improve website security, reliability and protection against automated abuse.
Cloudflare Turnstile may be used to protect forms from spam, bots and fraudulent submissions.
For this purpose, Cloudflare may process technical information such as:
- your IP address;
- browser and device information;
- user-agent information;
- connection and security signals;
- the website page being accessed; and
- Turnstile verification tokens.
Depending on the technical configuration, Cloudflare may use necessary cookies or similar security technologies.
These technologies are used for security and abuse prevention and not for personalised advertising by fix246.
Further information is available in the fix246 Privacy Policy and in Cloudflare’s applicable privacy information.
6.3 Google reCAPTCHA
fix246 uses Google reCAPTCHA v2 to protect the user registration process against spam, automated registrations and other forms of abuse.
Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Depending on the circumstances, data may also be processed by other Google companies or transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area.
When the registration form or reCAPTCHA is loaded or used, Google may process technical and usage-related information, including:
- your IP address;
- browser and device information;
- operating system information;
- the date and time of access;
- the page from which reCAPTCHA was accessed;
- interactions with the reCAPTCHA widget;
- mouse movements, keyboard interactions or touchscreen activity;
- security and risk-assessment signals; and
- existing or newly created Google cookies.
Google reCAPTCHA may place the _GRECAPTCHA cookie or use comparable technologies for security and risk analysis.
reCAPTCHA is used exclusively to protect the registration process and user accounts against automated abuse. fix246 does not use reCAPTCHA data for analytics, personalised advertising or the creation of advertising profiles.
The registration function may not be available if reCAPTCHA, its required scripts or its security cookies are blocked.
Further information about Google’s processing of personal data is available in Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
7. No cookie consent banner for optional cookies
fix246 does not use optional analytics, personalisation or marketing cookies.
The website therefore does not provide a preference centre for optional cookie categories that are not used.
Cookies and similar technologies required for website security, registration, login, forms, user sessions and protection against automated abuse are activated when the relevant function is accessed. These technologies may include Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile and technically necessary WordPress cookies.
Information about these technologies and the related processing of personal data is provided in this Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy and in the fix246 Privacy Policy.
Users may block cookies and third-party scripts through their browser or other technical settings. However, this may prevent registration, login, form submission or other protected website functions from working correctly.
8. Managing and deleting cookies
You can configure your browser to:
- delete existing cookies;
- block all cookies;
- block cookies from specific websites;
- block third-party cookies; or
- notify you before a cookie is stored.
Instructions are usually available in the privacy, security or cookie settings of your browser.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect important website functions. You may no longer be able to:
- register an account;
- log in;
- remain logged in;
- submit forms;
- post listings;
- use messaging functions; or
- access protected account features.
Deleting cookies may also cause you to be logged out or require essential cookies to be created again during your next visit.
