WHAT ARE COOKIES FOR?
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. All areas of Mediaclassified.ca where you are prompted to login (eg. memberships, wanted ads, etc.) require that you accept cookies. These cookies are used only to keep track of your account information as you move through our system. This ensures that your advertisements are attached to the correct account. Throughout the site, when classifieds are listed, you can choose to save the item within the clipboard, and this functionality requires cookies whether or not you have logged in as a registered user. Cookies are also used to keep track of what listings you wish to enter into mediaclassified.ca so that your listings get into the classifieds properly after returning from the Credit Card screen.

If you forget your password, you can indicate such by entering your e-mail address in the login page, and selecting the "I have forgotten my password" link. This will send an e-mail to your e-mail address with your password.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be 100% guaranteed secure.

Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
